Roger carpal tunnel Registered: 18/01/2000 Posts: 5683 Loc: London, UK	I'd just like to point out that I'm successfully using cdparanoia to rip CDs with an LG "Portable Super Multi Drive" (GP08NU20), connected to the USB ports on my Dell 2209WA monitor. I say "USB ports" because this thing has one of those USB Y-cables for drawing extra juice. _________________________ -- roger

Probably. I'd prefer to keep the cable and the drive together, though. Otherwise I'll forget what the cable's for and then I'll find myself unable to use the drive with something that doesn't provide enough juice (such as my Surface Go). I find myself using an external drive because I simply no longer have a PC with an accessible 5.25" drive bay, in case you were wondering. _________________________ -- roger
