>>If Spots still has the drive perhaps perhaps Plextor would buy it back and replace it for the inconvenience ... True, ZP. I didn't explore this with Plextor; like all of us I have to pick my battles. The drive expired after its 2 year warrantee expired, and even I wouldn't expect Plextor to replace it under those circumstances, though I tend to raise Cain with manufacturers over product performance. In this case I just didn't feel it was worth pursuing. I merely note that it ran hotter than is reasonable (MUCH hotter than any other CD I've ever owned, SCSI or IDE) so the failure didn't surprise me, and it's enough to steer me clear of the brand. Perhaps someday I'll give them a second chance, which is my general policy. But I'd need a good reason. Meanwhile I have plenty of CD drives which have given better service and never one do worse, so I'm in no hurry. Why borrow trouble? I get enough for free <G>. Spots
