Er, back in 2001, I had a four (4) drive CD-R.  It had three (3) 8x CD-R
SCSI-2 drives and one (1) 24x CD-R ATAPI drive.

More recently I've had a four (4) drive CD-R, all 48x ATAPI device.  I
used two (2) old Promise Ultra33 cards to give every drive it's own
channel, and I was able to push all of them at the full 48x.  I used a
tmpfs /tmp and put the .iso file there, so it was already in RAM.
