What is the best CD-RW drive for an Amiga 2000HD?

[DoomMaster]

I am putting together a 3rd Amiga 2000HD.  This one will have Kickstart 3.1 and Workbench 3.9.  I am using an A2091 SCSI Controller card with the 7.0 Boot ROMs and the revision 08 Western Digital Controller IC.  I would like to include a CD-RW drive.  What do you recommend?     :-o

To x56h34:

I already have a Yamaha CRW4416S CD-RW drive.  It is installed in my 2nd Amiga 2000HD, which has Kickstart / Workbench 2.04.  My goal is to have 3 Amiga 2000HDs in MINT condition.  One has Kickstart / Workbench 1.3 and is dedicated to my over 600 vintage commercial games.  My 2.04 system will be used for music and MIDI, and my 3.9 system will be used for graphics and animation.  So, I need a CD-RW drive that can keep up with the animations.  I already have a Seagate 10,000 RPM fan-cooled hard drive just for my OS 3.9 Amiga 2000HD system.  I also have Commodore's high quality 68030 board.  It blows the doors off the 040 to 060 boards in quality and reliability!  The custom Chips in my new Amiga 2000HD are military grade ICs, even the two 8520s are military grade.  I am looking for military grade quality 256k X 4 DRAM memory ICs and I am willing to pay the price to get them.     :-P

It sounds like to me that it is YOU that should "get a life & stop the foolishness".

How come you do not have your picture posted for your avatar?  Are you afraid to show the rest of us what you look like?  I do like classic Oldsmobiles though.  They are very nice cars.  I myself have owned a few.  Have fun here on Amiga.Org and stop picking on me.     :-D

Thanks guys, you have all been helpful.  I am now looking for a Plextor CD-RW drive on eBay.  I found on eBay some more military grade, high quality custom ICs for the Amiga 2000HD.  They are Paula, Denise, and a 8520 IC.  They have the purple-pink ceramic body and gold-plated legs.  I plan on bidding on these chips.     :-D

First of all, I want you guys to know that I actually work in the electronics industry as a Class 4 Assembler and as a technician / engineer's helper.  There are 3 grades of electronics assembly and components.  The 3 grades are: Consumer Spec, Military Spec, and Weapons Spec.  Consumer Spec is made to last an average of 4 to 7 years.  Military Spec is made to last 7 to 15 years.  Weapons Spec is made to last for at least 20 years.  Most things produced today are Consumer Spec.  Military Spec is a classification of Assembly type and Quality type.  It does NOT mean that these parts are made for the military.  Actually, Weapons Spec is done for the military.  The Amiga Custom Chips that have the black plastic bodies are Consumer Spec ICs.  This is what's in most Amiga computers.  The Amiga Custom Chips with the purple-pink ceramic bodies with gold-platted legs are Military Spec.  These ICs are very high quality and are designed to last at least 15 years.  The ceramic bodies dissipate heat better then the black plastic bodies, so the ICs last a lot longer.  Also, the gold-platted legs allow the signals to flow more efficiently.  The gold-plated legs are also less susceptible to corrosion.  The first run of Amiga 1000 and 2000 computers all had Military Spec Custom Chips.  Some even had Military Spec DRAM!  My first Amiga 1000 sure did.  Just last month, a guy on eBay was selling Military Spec 68-pin 68010 processors for $14.99 plus shipping.  I bought one for each of my 3 Amiga 2000HDs.  These 68010 processors are pin for pin compatible with the normal black-bodied 68000 processor.  They just plug in.  If you replace the crystal as well, you can actually gain up to 20% increase in speed.     :-P

To Cyberus:

I would like to buy those 68010 processors from you.  Email me.     :-o
