I am looking for a CD burner for a laptop and am interested
in the HP CD Writer M820e that is supposedly supported by CD
Arch. The default connection type for this drive is through
a PCMCIA card; however this device can connect via SCSI-2 if
I get the necessary SCSI connection card and cable.
Technical support has given me the run around about CD Arch
working through the PCMCIA card connection. I have heard
from different tech support personnel that it will and will
not work through the PCMCIA connection. This device is
listed as a supported drive on the website, but gives no
information about the connection that makes is work.
I don't want to buy this drive and not have it work. Anyone
have any information on this particular drive or has had
success using CD Arch on a laptop with a particular CD
burner?
Thanks,
Martin
