Anyone know how I can get the latest (I hear it's 1.5) drivers for the Mitsumi internal (a.k.a. El Cheapo) drive? I'm basically happy with this product, considering that I didn't expect much for the money, but Mitsumi was awfully careful not to put any information about contacting them anywhere on or in the package.

Ronny, Here's the East Coast Mitsumi distributor, who can help you with this: ROMART Computer Corp. 1180 Northern Blvd. Manhasset, NY 11030 Tel: (516) 365-9371 Fax: (516) 365-9488 Contact: Larry Bilello, Senior Sales Representative ROMART was able to get me the v1.5 drivers (these ARE the latest) and they are a major improvement over the v1.2 drivers. The movie clips in Mammals, which were sort of jerky with the v1.2 drivers, are nice and smooth with v1.5. Larry tells me that Mitsumi has some new stuff on the way, around the first of the year, and the speculation is that it will include hardware and/or software to support Photo CD. Nothing more definite than that; just speculation at this point. I intend to talk to the Mitsumi folks at Comdex next month, so maybe I can learn something there. regards, Tom

Mitsumi is releasing a high speed drive in the time frame of 6 months. Look for the rest of the info at COMDEX. Frank Harris
