Hi,
I am trying to upgrade an AMD 266 MHz, S7AX main board, Award 1.0a BIOS, 128 Mb RAM, with a 6 Gigabite EIDE HDD based system with a CD-ROM burner so that Linux is happy as can be. This question may sound silly, but I'm not sure what kind of burner will work best on it. Socket 7 will accept any AMD chip and requirements section on the box suggest a minimum 450 MHz, what about the drivers? All the burners that I've seen on the market from Hi-VAL $50 up to $180 Plextor are W--doze based, 90% of the utilities feature Nero. Does Knoppix really care what kind of burner is hooked-up to it? I plan to burn music, backups, photos, and that sort of thing.
Regards,
Joseph Schiller
