Bernse:
I knew nothing about burners a couple of years ago, and I got on a burner newsgroup. Asked around, and most peoples opinions were either Plextor, or Teac. I have a scsi set-up, and use a Teac cdr58s burner, and a 532s reader, and have NEVER had a coaster in over a year of use( maybe 250-300 discs) that was not my direct fault.
