Yes, they are great cards. I bought a few AMI 428s from Onsale a while back. Not to turn/. into e-bay, but I have one that I want to get rid of. Pricewatch is down at to moment, so I don't know what they are selling for. I will let you have one for considerably cheaper.
e-mail me at bm@datapace.com if you are still thinking about getting one.
Great... Now we just need someone to write a driver so the DVD-RAM can be of any use under linux. No companies are going to release the specs for their drives, so what can we do? Unfortunately, the only OS the DVD-RAM drives I have seen will work with is Win98, so no thanks. There is no way in hell I will be getting one anytime soon.
Personally, I wouldn't buy a DVD-RAM drive until Plextor makes one!
It is because of companies like Red Hat that Corporations and PC makers are adopting Linux. They like RedHat because it is easy to install, admin and most importantly, because it *WORKS*.
While other distributions are great for hacking, companies don't make money or derive joy by playing around with computers, they must be productive to be successful.

Let's remember that.
