Hm. My local Apple service center claims he can fix them, but the one I gave him, he tore the ribbon cable inside, so I fear to give him another. :-) I have read somewhere online, that the motor is what is going bad in these things. If this is true, it is possible that drives now coming out of Apple to replace them are using better motors, but if that is true, it happened after the Pismo was discontinued. I bought my Pismo in January, after the G4 came out, and it was manufactured in January (shipped directly from Taiwan). When my current drive finally decides it doesn't want to mount DVDs any more, then I will take it back to him, and let you all know how it goes. :-) -- -Jon Glass Krakow, Poland <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." --Benjamin Franklin -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
