Interface for DVD rewriter
« on: April 08, 2004, 03:09:08 PM »
I am looking to purchase an internal DVD rewriter drive but am a little confused by the interfaces available. IDE EIDE or SCSI. Would a rewriter with a EIDE interface be compatible with an IDE on the motherboard, for instance?

Not knowing much on the subject myself I did a little research and through this site you can get the most information:  http://www.acc.umu.se/~sagge/scsi_ide/

From what I can tell SCSI requires either a PCI card to attach to, verses ATA/IDE is the standard like with hard drives running @ DMA or Ultra DMA's 33/66/100 bus speeds. E-IDE is an enhanced version explained here: http://thef-nym.sci.kun.nl/cgi-pieterh/atazip/atafq.html
