The CDRWs are probably limited to narrow SCSI, so depending on your SCSI adapter you can get up to 10 MB/s throughput - may just be enough for 32x speed. The burner itself does not care about your CPU at all, it's the software that depends on it.


The CDRW burner may not care which CPU is in the computer it is installed into, but correct me if I am wrong, the speed at which the data can be processed and burned to the disc certainly is dependent on the speed of the CPU.  If it were not, then a SCSI CDRW connected to my A500 w/7mHz 68000 could write CDs just as fast as my A4000 w/50mHz 68060.

Since the question was about a CyberStorm, perhaps Zac67 was meaning that it did not matter which CPU the CyberStorm had, the 68040 or 68060.  In other words, the software will run faster on a faster CPU.
