Not a big surprise. While HL-DT-ST is a brand in its own right, it's called "Hitachi-LG Data Storage". <http://www.hlds.co.jp/e_index.jsp> ^ ^ ^ ^ ^^ They are only supplying OEM markets, I first came across them in Fujitsu-Siemens Computers (FSC) Scenic W600 and W620 "workstations" (aka. Pentium 4 Peeceeh), but the DVD writers FSC shipped were all NEC drives. I've certainly seen worse stuff than this, OTOH I have only tried Verbatim DataLifePlus 16-24X, whoever made them (MCC I believe) and a few 10X CD-RW of various brands, neither caused a problem, and reading SUSE 9.3 or 10.0 DVD 9 GB disks wasn't a problem either. -- Matthias Andree -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
