I sure appreciate your continued efforts. I'm so frustrated with Sony over the 535i and NT I could scream. If I could find anyone to scream at. I wish I had bought a NEC instead.

No kidding! I thought that I was really making a good purchase, and to be honest from a hardware standpoint I still think that it is the best drive that was available at the time. But the incredibly poor support (present company excepted, of course!) and COMPLETE lack of information have made my entire feelings about Sony so bad that I will almost certainly NEVER buy another Sony product.

Merrick, I have experienced good tech support from Sony. I have a CDU-531 drive and I feel it was a good choice at the time I made it. Now there are drives that are a lot faster. I also have a Pioneer 604x. Sony probably depends on the manufacturers of the interface cards to provide drivers for their drives, but my experience shows they are willing to take the steps necessary to help them get them working.
