you mean, for example, what's wrong w/ the philips cdd2000 or cdd2600 recorders
for which there is a class action suit (http://www.cdrecorderclassnotice.com/) ?
As I understand it, the recorder was built w/ a spring that did not have enough
tension to move the laser to the end of the disc.
as for the "over used HP7100" you have. I have a HP that no longer writes, this
after less than 200 cd's, yet my yamaha is still going strong after close to
1000 (I use if for backup - raw media is cheaper than tape, and I have more
faith in being able to read the cd's later, than I do in dds tapes...) Note
that Yamaha is not the only good drive out there (alot of people like Plextor),
but there seems to be an unfortunate abundance of inferior ones.
