        Which model is it? I think the CDD2000 was one of thier
first CD-R drives. It's a standard HH SCSI drive, unlike older Sony
drives that were rather large proprietary units. My guess is that
they weren't quite as fast to release a CD-R to market as they were
with CD-ROMs? Weren't they one of the original developers of the
CD-ROM? I still have a CDD2000 as well as continue to use one of
their Omniwriter's.
