With my old motehrboard that had 4 ide ports, I had the burner on 
primary master, alone on the cable. This proved to be very reliable, I 
could do a kernel compile with make -j 10 even, and the burn process 
was solid reliable all way through at 8X speed, on a lowly 733 Mhz 
coppermine.

However, now I have this crap i815e motherboard, and the burner shares 
cable with a harddrive, and now it seems that if even touch my mouse 
while burning at 4X, even if I had reniced's cdrecord to -20 (which I 
didnt have to do on the old trusty BX), it fails immediately.

BX forever!! :-\
