At last, Omer bought a CD-ROM drive.
and now I have a reason to repeat a question which I already asked the
list members:
What is your recommendation for the best Linux CD-ROM (or CD-ROM set),
which contains a modern kernel version and other good software?
By the way, my CD-ROM is Toshiba XM-3701B, which claims to have 6.7x
speed. It has SCSI interface. The cost was $570 (not including SCSI
cable). It succeeded in working with MS-DOS and Linux 1.1.13. According
to the MS-DOS Norton SI benchmarks, the CD-ROM did not cause degradation
in hard disk performance (the hard disk resides on the same SCSI chain)
when the CD-ROM is not being used.
I am curious to know if and what benchmarking programs are available
under Linux (for hard disk and CD-ROM performance - singly and
simultaneously).
