387146 2005-09-09 07:04:00 Just got this info from 2 of my suppliers:

"There are IMITATION Lite-on 1693S DVDRW in the market, please be careful when choosing.
These imitation products come in a poor printed package, which is different from genuine products. (Picture attached) "

Why anyone would bother - the manufacturing costs vs the returns on them wouldn't be much.

Maybe somebody has been putting in a bit of overtime.

Difficult to find :-)

Maybe it's the same problem Nike etc have. Low budget factory somewhere keeps producing after the contract has supposedly ended and finds a distributor. Or maybe a contract manufacturer had some batches that Liteon wouldn't accept.
