Yes... But I'll stick with the ancient 2.0.2, as it works quite painlessly, and is easy to manage. No manual twiddling, only changing disc when asked. I have 100 DVD+RW discs, and they can handle about one year, I have now second year going with these. Works find, if hardware works. Two DVD-writers died, but they are cheap to replace. -- http://www.iki.fi/jarif/ Make a wish, it might come true.
