Ok, this may be a dumb question, but I have noticed in this thread a lot of people were saying "I hope this is a LiteOn drive...". Pardon my ignorance in advance (usually not so brain dead on matters involving my machines), but how do you tell which brand it actually is? I ordered one from OMax yesterday, got it today, all the box says is IOMagic and the stickers on the drive itself are all generic as hell. The drive itself spanks tho...whips out a full 80/700 disk in 2 minutes
Oh yea, checked the drivers too...just generic MicroSoft schtuff...the drive itself is just listed as Atapi CDRW.
Well, welcome to the world of Nero InfoTool for me It pulled the firmware version and a quick search for the rather unique number brings me to the conclusion that mine is an Acer/Benq for anyone who is interested.
