hi frogtown!
you can! i 'm getting one these days too!
scsi is for external connections, atapi internal! i've oppened my 4k a few weeks ago with an scsi ready to build in ... (fortunately it was a friend's one and not a bought one)
have a look at the post i've posted a few weeks ago to ask similar thing!
http://www.mpc-forums.com/viewtopic.php?t=7947
and have a look at this too (its a bit old but gives some idea, from akai germany)
http://www.nose.ag/akai/downloads/liste ... evices.pdf
it contains a list of tested cdrw, hd, ...for akai products!
i'll probably go for a plextor! let me please know which one your takin a how it is workin! maybe there is a cheaper solution than the plextor for me too!
hope that helps 8)
