your nec must have been asleep at that early time, cynthia

my 4550 gives me these speeds and 4550/4551 are identical except for labelflash which i'm not interested in:

I confirm that NEC scan capabilities are not seen so good at CDF (I'll not say to Franksoy, promised ). These scans are not so bad. I must say that I'm starting to consider to buy a NEC too. I need to do some readings at CDF

At CDF scans with NEC drives are done @5x

cynthia, do you have a liteon drive?

[cynthia]

cynthia, do you have a liteon drive?

Yes, but only a DVD-ROM...

[geno888]

Yes, but only a DVD-ROM...

Doh!

You must absolutely get a liteon burner!!!

Can I suggest a 1693?

[cynthia]

At my current rate I'm bying a new burner every second month...

[geno888]

but a liteon is a must!

After you can also get a plextor 760

Atleast nice to have something that is faster in my PC than in UncasMS PC...

At CDF scans with NEC drives are done @5x

depends upon the drive, as you can see Cynthia's does fine at 12x, but I would stay at 8x like my nec 3550.

but a liteon is a must!

maybe for scanning, not burning

[geno888]

maybe for scanning, not burning

How about these burnings?

[Chewy]

Yes, but that's a 1693, and a good one! I double those PIF totals to
equate to a 8ecc scan. And the PIF max's on the T02 would be 8 not 2

[geno888]

this 1693 was a RMA for a damaged 1633: I was really lucky

[Chewy]

I looked for one for 2 weeks until I found out they were gone, now I wait for a benq 1650.
