As you might remember CDR Info posted on 27/9/1999 news about a new model from Plextor which had 8/4/32 IDE machine (..worldwide exclusive..) It seems that only : WinOnCD v3.6 B420-5, PacketCD v3.00 185, Nero v4.0.5.6, EasyCD Creator v4.01 (expect update from v4.0 soon), Direct CD v2.5d (+ update) supports it. Lets hope a SCSI model coming soon. Or else will wait until 12/4/32 comes..8x CDR speed seems slow now.. :-)
