I have been exploring options for Central America.  After burning 75
DVD and 75 CD at home over one weekend someone pass me a link to a
project called turbojet.

http://turbojet.sourceforge.net/

I have started to built my own dvd burner in an old PIV box with
fedora 13. I have acomodate 4 DVD-RW units. I needed a ¨Y¨ cable with
molex connectors for powering all devices. You can see a picture of
this PC in the following link.

I still ironing some IRQ issues with a pci USB2.0 card, as the old
motherboard only have old USB ports.

I hope this helps someone before he or she starts to burn disks.
