Hi Dave, >> I have been considering purchasing a 128 Mb optical drive and wondered how you liked yours. When it worked for a week it was fantastic. Suddenly it stopped working and I have sent it back to Pinnicle. They said that I would have a replacement within a week. While it was working, it worked from the Parallel port via. Trantor's MiniSCSIplus which shipped with the Tahoe-130 (price $1100). I used it heavily for a week. >> Why did you go with the Pinnicle? I have been following them for two years. Their stock just went public 4 months ago at $11.00, it is now at $22.00. (Gee, if only I had some money then…) They have gotten many good reviews in trade mags. >> Any big downsides on the heavily advertised Fujitsu FJ2511A2 for less than $800? No idea. >> Other contenders in this price range? My dealer mentioned that there are a few. (HP has one). DGR technologies was advertising one last year. >> Is there a forum on Compuserve that discusses these magneto optical drives? Nope. CDROM has some users who have opticals. Fugitsu has its own forum (FUGITSU). -Rich
