You can get a better drive:

: Revision:  LA 88
: Serial #  2000/06/19

See above, cheaper too!
   

But as far as I recall, the problem is that if one get another brand one
also have to find a new drive bezel (the door plastics) or run without.
Possibly one could remake the old, but I wouldn't bet on it.
In my case, we got a new LQ from Wegenermedia.
 

Thanks to everyone for their suggestions/info...I have been away the 
past several days and am only catching up to mail now...
Here's another note...the failure occurred after I did the d/l and 
install of 10.3.4...I wonder if that may have had anything to do with 
the sudden failure???   Any ideas, conjectures, conspiracy theories???  
I do intend to get a replacement asap and it appears that the 
replacement will probably end up being another LG unit rather than the 
Mat. since they seem to be what most parts places have available..(maybe 
due to the higher failure rate necessitating their replacement and 
subsequent dumping by Apple of these units  to the market)??
Further suggestions, hints, comments welcomed..
Regards,
Mike K
