Called Toshiba, Chinon, Texel, and Liuski's today to try and put in order who had what and when it would be available. Thought I'd share what I found out… Toshiba's new drive, TXM-3401, has been just announced and Toshiba doesn't expect it to be shipping until February 93. Liuski's (often referred to in this forum) is only carrying the Toshiba TXM-3301 CD-ROM drive. Chinon's new drive, 535 series, is not available yet and Chinon didn't expect it to be available until 1st quarter of 93. Texel… well, if their after-sales support is anything like their pre-sales support, I think I'd rather have my computer struck by lightning then purchase one of their drives and subject myself to this organization. The drive "may" be alright but they sure didn't have any appreciation for customer care. The Kodak support line didn't have any information on these new drives yet, which is understandable. Kodak support did mention a Mitsumi CRMC-LU0055 CD-ROM drive but this is 300+ mSec drive, but is Multi-Session compatible. – Mike –
