| 264986 | 2004-08-24 13:14:00 | I am looking to purchase the above drive to slot in where my old CD ROM drive was in my Gateway PIII 500mB, 256 Ram computer. HD is 4gB split into C and D drive, roughly 2 GgB each. What should I specify where I want only to read DVDs, and to read and write to CDs? I am told that such things cost around $80. Can anyone suggest an online site to buy from? ?:| Regards, eef2. |

| 264990 | 2004-08-24 13:51:00 | Hi eef2 , also running 98se with 256 RAM , and the Samsung runs sweet [ using an Athlon 1800+ processor ] , tho I can't see any " minimum " requirement either on Ascent or the linked Samsaung site , others here may be able to say if 500 MHz is enough , good luck in your quest :) | KatiMike (242) | ||
| 264991 | 2004-08-24 20:45:00 | Thanks again, KatiMike (near Katikati?) I, too, searched for " minimum requirements " on their page, but the Samsung pop-up that appeared was too large for it's pop-up box - that is, their feedback box was too small for all their information. So I tried to send it back to them as an attachment so they would know that we would appreciate " minimum requirements " on their page. Unfortunately, this morning, that email to them bounced, so "service" @ sumsung.com does not exist. :O Hope the weather over your way is OK today. BTW you are OK, aren't you? Not having to be evacuated lately, or anything? Regards, eef2 |

| 264993 | 2004-08-26 08:41:00 | OK, well I've gone ahead and got hold of the original deal and so far I get 2 out of 3. :) I can read CDs and DVDs. The remaining feature I am still working on - writing to a CD. Ive tried 2 kinds. CD-R, and CD-RW but so far, neither is recognised in the drive., although I suspect the computer reports it falsely as the first box to pop up on screen was one offerring to format the CD-RW. Didn't get this with the CD-R. Software help screens show that with the MRW technology, CD-R's are the wrong disks anyway. Cheers, all. eef2 |
