Title: Make sure you have usb 2.0 for 24x speed, or it will be 6x !
Review: A wonderful cool looking device that immediately worked under Linux. Only problem: Most computers (such as my notebook purchased last year) do not have a usb 2.0 port. The drive also works with the old usb 1.1, but will only run at a speed of 6x instead of 24x.So you will have to buy a usb 2.0 port card in addition to this drive. Apart from that it would be 5 out of 5 stars:The buffer-underrun-protection works wonderfully, and that it can play mp3 cds without the computer being connected is just another plus.Linux 2.4.19 will have usb 2.0 drivers included, they are already in the 2.4.19pre3 code.MichaelPS: Windows XP worked also, but Linux is just better ;-)
