Yeh I've been looking at Pioneer, It would have to be an internal as my 
MoBo has the older slower USB, so I'm afraid it might choke or being 
that I'm not the most patient I might choke it. Anybody know about 
Plextor? I've had good luck with Plextor in the past, in the early days 
CD-ROMS. Had a couple of SCSI with the carrier instead of the tray. 
Still have one in my old stuff closet. I can't seem to be able to 
connect to plextor.com, but can get to plextor-europe.com.
