Subject:IDE possibilites

--->Well, maybe this will be a bit offtopic,
but I hope somebody have an experience:
Now there is alot of cheap CD writers for IDE
interface. And I'm thinking to buy one - because
I saw there is a driver for atapi CD-R's in MakeCD.
But will it work ? Since the transfer liitation on the
IDE bus ? I have an IDE HD so I wonder if IDE CD-R will
work I mean for writing of cause =) I'm affraid it will
burn out the CDs because of slow transfers =(
And the second question is about big HD's (again IDE).
I noticed that there is some problems to setup a drive
bigger then 8Gb on PC (MSDOS/WIN). It requers a special
preparation proggys to setup. And how this can be done on Amiga ?
Now I know with a scsi.device patch and TRD64 we can ovveride the
4Gb limit..But is it also mean that I will be able to use (for
example 20 Gb HD) ?

Any replys are welcome!

Kind regards,
Kisa
