Hi. I'm in research mode trying to decide if I should take jump into this area, & if so, the best bets. Preferably interested in U.S. made — largest supplier — money is issue but so is speed and ease of general use. Any help, suggestions, directions would be appreciated. Thanks much. jsr

Jan: Are you talking about buying a drive, a disc, or a company? Rich Bowers

LMSI, in Colorado Springs, CO, is the ONLY US manufacturer (as far s I know) of CD-ROMdrives [D [D [DSorry, cat on the keyboard. This may not necessarily be the best drive, I like Toshibas myself, Dana Parker (LMSI is Laser Magnetic Storage International)

Dana: I think CDROM Inc. in Golden makes their own drives. But of course, there are still only a couple of sources for major components, either Japan or Netherlands. So US mfg boils down to some level of assembly and integration. But you got to take what you can get! Rich
