I'd very much like to get in touch with Plextor, if you have a contact there please let me know (in private). -- * Jens Axboe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * Linux CD/DVD-ROM, SuSE Labs * http://kernel.dk - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
