Yes. It's my own drive, bought in Cologne.

CyberStormPPC, but it's not particularly important for burning from MP3.
Any SCSI controller should do, a most of the work is in decoding the
MPEGs. For burning from a filesystem, especially when there are a lot
of small files as on the AACDs, a fast SCSI controller is essential.
Even with the CSPPC controller and a fast drive, the read speed drops to
around 3.5X during the early stages of the build.
