[G4] 8X burns VS. 16X burns

[James Pacyga]

I've not had the ZIP on the bus for years (as it was not worth it to me 
and just made noise).

I can say that I have seen DVD-Rs burn in 4 or so minutes.  That seems 
to be 16x based on the previous feedback, so I guess maybe it 
worked...I have not had time to crack open the G4 and see if it has a 
proper 80 pin cable or if just having no SLAVE unit is good enough 
(which based on the discussions about what an 80 pin cable really is, 
seems likely to work just fine).
