Perhaps you should - now that I think of it, my Yahama SCSI burner is at
least 4 years old and it still works fine, apart from a little hiccup as it
pulls the tray in. This is due to the tray being warped a little, which is
due to it's being warped a LOT when my knee banged off it one day when I had
left it open :-(
I distinctly remember that I paid something around 125 EUR for that burner -
good luck finding a SCSI burner now, and if you do find one, you will pay a
tad more than 125 EUR for it.
