HI-SPEED DOUBLE FROM FREECOM

Delft, April 2002. The new Hi-Speed burners from Freecom write CD-Rs at 40X speed and rewrite CD-RWs at 12X speed. With the ultra-fast CD-burners, it is now possible to create a complete CD of 80 minutes length (700 MB) in just 2 minutes. In addition, these ultimate devices for the power user have a 40X reading speed. The burner is available both in an internal version for PC as well as in an external version for PC and Mac. In both cases, the in-built Buffer Underrun Prevention Technology ensures even more safety when writing and rewriting CDs - scorched CDs will now be a thing of the past. The new Freecom drives facilitate fast and problem-free saving of data, saving presentations to CD or generating professional multimedia-CDs. The simple installation and operation make the 40x12x40 the optimal drives for both, the professional user as well as for the demanding home user.

Hi pal
Do you know who makes that freecom drive?
All the freecom drives I've seen have been rebadged.
I bought a 24x about a month a go and it was a mitsumi.
It was actually £10 cheaper to just buy the mitsumi. OOPS.
I looked on their (freecom) support page and their were a lot of pissed of people not getting much help.
Maybe better to buy the original burner (rebadgers are never a good idea) if it is rebadged and get proper support from a proper manufacturer.
Interesting post though!
