Hey, cool!

How about a "-r" for the Joliet/Windows challenged? ;-)

How long did it take to actually write the CD? A 600 MB image takes 30 mins
at 2x on my 8000i. However parallel port throughput is no way as high as
IDE/SCSI. Would be nice to know these figures for comparison. I played it
safe with the internal CD writer, but paid a heavy price for it (about 8K
more than the 7200e), so was wondering what the tradeoff is.

Thanks for the info!
