Exactly, I bought Logitec's 640MB Magneto-Optical drive before then. But I wanted to edit CD-DA media too.
Although ATAPI drives had already been at the height of prosperity, and although I've had many troubles with a SCSI drive, I bought this SCSI-2 drive because this drive was so cheap.
....in fact, I expected that the load to CPU in transportation was less than that of ATAPI....a little.
After then, I was told by "Gedo-san" that the load to CPU of my SCSI-2 host adaptor "Tekram DC-390" was abnormally highest in that of SCSI host adaptors......
Unless I bought this, It was natural that I had anxiety which came from the experience of past.
When the buffer underrun error was occured, I thought "Oh....It caused of SCSI...". When the writing error was occured, I thought "Oh....It caused of SCSI...". When it couldn't recognized the blank media, I thought "Oh....It caused of SCSI...".....the reason why the globe is globular, or why the STARBUCK's "Verona" beans taste so bad must be due to SCSI connections.
I continued to make so many CD-R madia which was failured recording or was recorded the crushed files until I found the true reason why these error was occured more than 2 years after then.
In Jan. 2004, my main desktopPC's recordable optical drive changed for ATAPI DVD+/- R/RW and CD-R/RW drive of NEC and this drive has retired.
I'm planning to use this diligent (although he was falsely accused of these troubles...) drive to my 3rd desktop PC that I use as the scanning PC, because this PC is installed Initio SCSI-2 host adaptor, which has been the "White Elephant" since the PC was assembled.
....Although the remained space of HDD is less than 300MB.
....although the CPU is AMD K-5 100MHz.
