(This is sort of a follow-on to [="http://www.recording.org/ftopict-24794.html"]the Hidden Track thread[/]="http://www.recordin…"]the Hidden Track thread[/] I started, but it's probably a good topic on its own.)

Help! I would like to get a plextor CD-RW for my laptop, but am limited by my connection options (PC Card, USB 1, serial, parralel).

I was hoping someing could point me in the right direction.. Thoughts were to slap a plextor IDE into a firewire enclosure ->Firewire adapter card-PC CARD slot. Im using WIN2k on a beefy HP laptop.

Any thoughts?

Hey ANUS Heads!
I got my Australian ANUS going (with XP Pro). Bloody beauty mate! Have not rigged up the Tascam US428 yet but that is on the agenda. Picked up a RODE condenser mic yesterday! However. the PLEXTOR burner sounds like a 747 on take-off. Not an issue as such but it is incredibly annoying. Any ideas for muffling this noise?

I have the 412 PLEXTOR and it's make CDRs at 4X burn speed that skip. I use CRWin by Jeff Arnold, and it's on a 700 MHz Pentium with 128 meg of memory. I'm not sure of the settings it's supposed to have but I can look at anything (if I knew what to look for). Any clues?
