| 19915 | 2001-10-03 04:27:00 | My Orb drive has just gone kerfut after just shy of 2 years. It worked fine last night but today it simply tries to read a disc fails and ejects it (on all three discs I tried. My supplier says they have had a lot of problems with them and I should toss it and buy a CD-RW drive and they will copy my old Orb disc data onto CD. Is the Orb drive worth getting repaired or should I just say bye bye to $800 of drive and discs and buy the CD-RW drive. Anyone else ever had one successfully repaired and if so what was the pricing like? Thanx |

They have been reduced to clear so it sounds like their not being made anymore. If you use a lot of disks, or share files with many people then a CDRW will be a lot cheaper and more useful to you. |
