possible to burn to more than one CD simultaneously in a PC (2 minimal, 4 ideal) ? Alternative dedicated systems?

I've attempted this on a pc with 2 idea cd burners, but nero and roxio
both must wait until one disc is done before moving on..

Is there a way to do this on a PC, short of purchasing a dedicated
burning system? (For around $200 or less?)

If not, can anyone recommend a good cd burning system, which can do 2
minimal or 4 ideally, cds at one time.. perhaps has a harddrive so the
session can be called up later instead of re-reading the source. Or a
system with DVD burning capabilities, if it isnt much more money?

Also optional in such a system woudl be a usb or network connection to
use as the source, and if it could be controlled from a remote
computer too.

Thanks

These would be data cd's, primarily from an ISO file.

Without knowing what prompted Nero to write the discs serially, I can
assure you that the program is capable of writing from a single source
to two drives concurrently. I know do it with similar drives, one EIDE,
the other SATA; previously, I did it with two EIDE drives from different
manufacturers. No problem with Nero 6 in either case. In that case, I
had the drives on different branches, one as master, the other as slave.

Thanks for the advice guys.. ill be trying out the simultaneous
feature of nero later today.. i actually didnt even realize it was
there..

Someone previously mentioned that these CD or DVD standalone DVD
duplicators dont really burn simultaneously.. is this true?

IE: a 9 disc unit like this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16827236064

I'm assuming i can load my iso on the harddrive of the unit, then
press burn and it will burn 9 discs at once?

Can anyone confirm / deny this.. or point me to a similar model that
will in fact do this?

Thanks

They're burned concurrently. If one is a few bytes ahead or behind
another, it's handled in the buffer. I use a four-drive box. Total
record time is right for the burn rate I select plus lead-in, lead-out
whether I'm writing one, two, or three copies.

If you look around hard enough, you can always find "someone" to say
anything.
