I installed a RICOH first time round, and wasn't too happy with it (principally because it was quite unreliable about detecting the CD for reading -- about 2 failures in 5 -- but it also didn't properly locate the start of the CD when writing). As a result, the shop changed it for an LG CED-8989B which seems to work perfectly well in both directions. Hope this helps, Ted. -------------------------------------------------------------------- E-Mail: (Ted Harding) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Fax-to-email: +44 (0)870 167 1972 Date: 25-Jul-01 Time: 23:48:36 ------------------------------ XFMail ------------------------------
