James Schofield I would've recommended Plextor too up until a couple of months ago, but I keep seeing comments on comp.publish.cdrom.hardware and on an ISP-local newsgroup about problems with them now. And to top it off, my Plex 32xCSI CD-ROM drive just shredded its mechanism, which also seems to have fried its electronics, after about five months of VERY light usage. I think their quality control slipped in the last six months to a year or so. My older PlexWriter has been working fine, it's the stuff they were making more recently that seems to be croaking.
