So I may have purchased an 8-track equivalent!

Bowser\ — 1/30/2005 3:51:58 PM (archived)

I bought a DVD+_RW, and the technology might be passe, soon, eh? Wouldn't be the first time.

Didn't have any idea there was the infighting going on re standards on that.

The one I purchased said it was Linux compatible, but didn't say if it came with LInux drivers. I haven't received it yet, and going to be interested to see how much work it might be to get it operative on Linux.

Thanks for the information.
