Hi Richard

Yeah, that's my recollection - and concern - too. Infrared laser for CD, red for DVD - and the latter seem to fail more often. Darn.

I guess another way I can prove that the DVD laser is/is not working is by plugging the "new" drive into a legacy PC that supports the EIDE interface. I knew there was some reason for keeping those ancient PCs...

Sheesh
