74-1? I've not seen "74-1" nor "74i" (which someone mentioned) in any of the
adds for the NEC drive. Just "NEC MultiSpin CDR-74". But, I'll try to make
sure I get the latest model/modification, of course. If it's not multisession,
I'll find out after the 2nd roll of film. <g>
The bare unit prices for the NEC 74 seem to be in the $615-630 range. ClubMac:
$619, Mac & PC USA: $625, Memory Direct: $629
The $500 type prices seem to be for other drives: $498 for a Toshiba 3401 and
$448 for a Texcel DM-3024 at Direct Connections
Do these have the Mac connection stuff included — I don't know.
I'd feel comfortable in going with any of the "name-brand" DS/MS/PCD drives,
but will probably opt for NEC 74 in the Tiger Software bundle (assuming they
assure me it is a 74-1).
Thanks for everyone's help. Are you as bored with this now as I am? <g>
