I use the workstation / server versions and they're the more reliable disc cloners I've come across. __________________ \| i7965 rampageii gtx295sli oczvertex250array corsair1k lianlix2000 \| apple 'pro' (ha) \| hp z800 \| sony l11 \| \| notebooks \| disp: \| apple 23 30 \| dell 2407/8 2707 3008 \| eizo cg242w \| hid: \| logi g9x mxrevo \| macally icekey \| ms sidewinderx6 sidewinderx8 \| razer exactmat propad
