Hmmm. While warnings about particular brands might be of some help, I would much prefer to see the make/model of comparably priced items that were rated good. I'm trying to buy, after all, not discard existing stuff. Nevertheless, this is helpful (I think) because I was starting to lean towards a Plextor PX-740A-BP OEM drive. Now I'll wait to see what others say. -- Kevin O'Gorman, PhD -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
