I didn't. :-) I'm using the faceplate that came with it--a Toshiba Lifebook's. :-) I looked at putting the faceplate from my LG drive onto it, as I now have an extra, but there were enough differences that I decided it would look uglier, and be more flimsy than what was already there. I don't even notice it most of the time, but at least I have a functioning drive. I use my DVD only or DVDs as it doesn't read CDs well, and has been mucked with just to do that. I am also happy with the 330. It's fast and efficient in both reading and burning. I love the flexibility it provides. I would still like to get my hands on a 710, though. They were more common a few months ago, and for cheap prices.

I only did the soldering when I couldn't get burning to work. I thought that was what was necessary. In end, however, it turned out that I needed to update Toast, and (most embarrassing) I discovered that I had forgotten to put the hacked Authoring file into the extensions folder. :-) Well, I do have a bootable CD out of the bargain, so I can't complain. :-) -- -Jon Glass Krakow, Poland <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "[D]emocracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have ever been found incompatible with personal security or the rights of property; and have, in general, been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths." --James Madison -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
