Hi all:

A good site to check out that has plenty
of information on all aspects of cd-rw is

cdmediaworld.com

They favor the Ricoh MP7040 (the predecessor to the 7060).
Also, Ricoh is listed there as a primary manufacturer of drives, so
you will find their drives sold under different names.. The site
has a cross reference list of who is manufacturing
all of the models out there at the "cd technology" link.

Enjoy.

Tom
