Dual CD-ROM Drive & CD Writer



How many CDROM drives you get to use is not distribution specific.

If you're running an all IDE system with only one hard drive then you
can get 3 mode IDE devices installed and these can all be CDROM
drives.  Add an old soundblaster w/a panasonic adapter you can have up
to four of the panasonic drives off of that.

Any SCSI controller can have up to 7 narrow devices on it.  In theory
each of these can be a CDROM drive.  I beleive you can have as many as
64 scsi disks connected to the system before having to change
N_SD_MAJORS in linux/drivers/scsi/sd.h and doing a recompile.
