Hi...I'm looking to purchase a CD-RW drive soon and I was wondering what are some recommended ones that are supposed to be good? Also, I will be buying a external, USB one (I know those aren't as common but it needs to be shared between two PCs, one running Win98se and the other Win95). Thanks.

Hi Liz,
I recommend you go for the IOMEGA zip cd 650 USB external cdrw. I think the speeds are 8x4x32x.
I have the internal version of this, speed is 4x4x24x and so far i havn't had any problems with it. I think it is very reliable and the best software to use with it would be Easy Cd Creator 4 or higher.
In the UK the internal versions are worth around £150, but higher for the external.
Hope this helps ®Shadow®

Really, if all you are going to do is share data and do nothing fancy like overburning a cd, just get the best deal [pricewise] that you can find
