Philips cd burner

Post by BillyGoat »

heya, just picked up a philips cd burner on a clearence cheap
gonna use it while my 48x cendyne lite on is going to RMA

its a 24x12x40
It has "seemless link" technology
and a 8mb buffer

anyone know anything about this drive- who actually makes it?

Cant beat the 16.54 i paid for it, cant even pick up a 40x cd drive for that :)

funnything is when i google seamless link, i got a pca review on almost the identical drive a 20x10x40
It seems to be a fairly quick drive, although the article makes no mention of who actually makes the drive

hmmm...i'm looking at a PCRW2010 now and it doesn't specify any other manufacturer than Philips. they may be the original manufacturer of them...they were one of the companies that developed the CD to begin with.

wasn't it Denon, Philips, and Sony or something like that that first created them?



edit: just found this: CD history
