Thanks to This, CDR Trading Has Been a Breeze

Pros: easy to install, portable, very very few problems/coasters due to burner
Cons: I've had problems burning at 4X

by stsorvas , Mar 16 '00

Issues I considered...

It's not just for road warriors

by tarthurs , Jan 09 '00
Pros: Portable, lightweight
Cons: May not be compatible with your equipment
Microsolutions designed these drives specifically for laptop computers, but it is an answer to a prayer if you compute on a budget, but have multiple computers to support. Since the drive is not meant to be used with a laptop all the time, the drivers...

FInally my own cd's

by writer50 , May 01 '00
Pros: small-efficient
Cons: a little difficulty in instructions
It is small easy to operate and affordable. The instructions are a little confusing. I had to call technical support at least once. But after that is a breeze to use. Now keep in mind that when you make a cd of your own, especially music, it takes a long...

Compact Copier Does it ALL!

by puckymon , Jan 07 '00
Pros: speed
Cons: Power Supply
I think MicroSolutions made this cd copier with laptops in mind. Its not too big to carry around in a bag. And it gets the job done quickly with no problems. It can be used as a rewriter too, but i find it more convenient to just buy cd-r's because...

Backpack still makes a solid drive.

by thall72 , Nov 30 '00
Pros: Easy to setup with windows 95
