Yeah,I`ve just purchased a new LiteOn LTD-165-02VHC DVD-ROM drive retail for about $35 after my good old Pioneer conked out.Should arrive in the next few days-I`ll tell you what it`s like after it arrives..
BTW Support for the Liteon DVD-ROM is at
http://www.jlms.com.tw/ (hehe,I never noticed your earlier link,RASTABT! Sorry,my friend.
) NOT the regular Liteonit site.Dunno why,but that`s the way the cookie sometimes crumbles....
