I am going external. Choices are USB or firewall. (I don't have firewall.)
I have a 2 USB ports, but apparently I need USB 2.0.
Do you think I have USB 2.0?

is there a way to configure this procedure automatically, or get it to convert entire playlists at once? or will i have to keep duplicating? see i thought adaptec was fairly popular (came with this computer anyway), are there perhaps any other cd writer set up programs i can download or are they intrinsic to the cd-r hardware? again, thnx

No firewire.
I hear USB is slow anyway, so maybe it won't matter if I don't have 2.0?
What about if I mainly want to create mix CDs, using CDs I already have? Will that be horribly slow as well?

Highly unscientific googling indicates that if, like mine, yours runs OS 9, USB 2.0 devices won't work as 2.0 devices alone, but Firewire will be compatible. Except maybe something like this lets you get 2.0 from a non-2.0 system?
(Not that I have any idea what I'm talking about.)

I have 8.6. Do you have 9 you could lend me, Gab? Someone can lend me 10, but I need 9 to go to 10.

Should it be firewire Lacie or USB 2.0 Lacie?
I have USB 1.0 so could save money and not have to buy a pc card and then if it was too slow I could buy a usb pc card.
Or, I could get the firewall pc card right off the bat to go with the firewall drive.
Which would be more useful in the long run, to have a firewire card or a usb card?
Also, how slow would it be on 1.0?
Also, I have 333mhz and I think the system requirements call for 350. Will I be ok?
