Hello,

I would like to buy a CDROM writer and authoring software
My minimum requirement is for producing ISO9660 and audio CD.
I found Philips CDD521 + CD-producer from Austin Info Science for $6,000.
Kodak sold a bundle package with its own authoring software at list 
price for $8000.  Microboards sell Richo CDR drive + CD-Record(sw)
for $3900.  I would like to know the opinion from netters about
the best drive and software under $10K.  I will use them on PC mainly
for one-off CD purpose.  For the audio, I just want to use it to make 
my personal CD from the CD's collection that I have.  I do not 
have plan about premastering audio CD but if it both audio and 
data authoring/premastering software does not cost too much, 
I will go for it.  Also, has anybody has a hand on a Yamaha 4X CD-R 
drive yet ?

Thanks
Nick
