really?  hmmm.  i'll have to check on those then.  i had a philips but it 
died.  it was an older model and a SCSI, but worked real good, until death 
that is.  and i saw that some other sony model numbers close to the 160 
worked (they are on the mdk list) so i was going from that point.  i will 
check out the plextor and yamaha options.  thanks Tom, and to others who have 
replied to me on this topic.
