Sara Jane:
As a non techie, I would say you have 2 chioces. One a SCSI CD writer to ensure
decent speed in the process and the other is an additional disk drive. If you
go
the SCSI route, consider a Ricoh. I have one and it works fine. The software
is a
little clunky and takes a little getting used to. I opted for the internal
drive
and I use the Adaptec SCSI board it came with to chain the Nikon LS-30 scanner.
I
left the board that came with the scanner in the sealed package. Both have been
working fine with no hiccups since they were installed.
