Brand new, unopened box.

Pacific Digital 32x12x48x External burner WITH usb 2 PCI card.

Its black in a black case.

Link http://www.pacificdigital.com/products/321248usb.htm

Supported formats CD-DA, CD-ROM, CD-ROM XA (both Photo CD and Video CD), CD-I, CD-Digital, CD-Bridge, Audio CD, Karaoke CD, CD-Extra and Video CD

Sell for $100 plus whatever shipping is to you by ups.

Will take money order from bank or post office. (It weighs about 15 lbs or so, heavier than it looks!)

I had two of these and the first one sold right away in the local newspaper so I doubt I will drop the price to under $100.

Let me know, JP

is this one where you have to use the software that comes in the package, or can you use proprietary software like Nero? I'm only asking b/c with my grandma's pacific digital (24x) burner, she HAD to use the software that came with the burner, and nothing else

Possible interest.

To be totally honest, I have no clue. I looked at the pdf data sheet http://www.pacificdigital.com/produc...eet/32XUSB.pdf and it says it comes with "the award Winning Oak SimpliCD burning bundle 6.2".

In a way you would think that an external burner might be a little more finicky about software than an internal burner.

I will post that up as a question and see if anyone has a clue.

I used this drive. Very heavy and solid looking and the SimpliCD is OK with all basic features but not as comprehensive as Nero or Roxio. As long as you have a USB 2 port/card and load the USB 2 drivers from the CD which come with the drive, you're all set to rock 'n' roll with any third party software.
