Does anyone know if I will be able to achieve the necessary burst rate (23 MB/sec+) by using a Firewire IEEE 1394 CardBus Notebook Adapter Card? I have USB 2.0 ports on my laptop and they top out around 19 MB/sec burst rate...

Why do you need a 23mb+/s burst rate and why isn't a 19mb/s rate sufficient? :) I use a USB2 cardbus without any problems on an older lappy.

Actually, I only need 22.2 for 16X.... 19MB/s is about 14X. I have an LG GSA 5163D on the way, and I want to make sure that I have the necessary throughput to reach its full potential! I'll never burn at 16X anytime soon, but it's just nice to know it is possible. I only recently discovered that my Pioneer 109 and LiteOn 1693S (both connected via USB 2.0 at 18 MB/s each) won't reach 16X in this configuration. It's OK because I burn my TY and Verbs at 8X anyway... Even though USB is rated higher than Firewire (480 vs 400), it seems that more users reach the 23MB/s mark with firewire than USB. I guess the bug has officially bitten me!!!

LOL, I figured that's what you were up to. Part of the problem will lie with the compatibility of the comm chipset in the external enclosure, the cardbus, and the mobo. You can move the same equipment to different laptop (mobos) and get quite different results. CD Freaks used to have a thread covering people's experiments with external enclosures, chipsets, etc. I haven't been there is a while so I don't know if they still do or not. At one time last year, the Prolific chipset for an external enclosure was deemed golden since that was the only one achieving 16X speed at the time. Good luck.

Thanks... I've been following that thread. No one indicated as to using a firewire pcmcia card. I just figured I'd get the manufacturers external configuration and hopefully they have the optimal chipset in their enclosure.

I have a Plumax firewire external enclosure with the Prolific chipset attached to a firewire port on my Compaq laptop (Athlon 64 3200+) with 784 MB and the best I can do is 12X reliably. I burn at 4X or 6X most of the time though depending on the media. I have some new 16X Verbs so I might try 16X again just to see if it'll even give it a go.
