Woa this topic has been open for a loooooong time!
I have a Mitsumi CR4805TE (which is a slightly faster 4804TE), and till the moment I think is one of the greatest writers available!
Now I've been trying to backup my B&W game, but I'm not obtaining perfect copies cos my Creative CD5233E doesn't work with them, although the writer reads them with no flaws. Anyway the Creative crap takes at least 3-5 min. to load the original, so I'm thinking it's on the bleeding edge.
żDo you have any special tips? I used SONY CDRW's to test, got a coaster with a Kodak but I think I didn't burned it correctly that time.
Please don't say me I've spent almost 70 bucks in changing my old Panasonic shit for this baby just to continue applying cracks plz.
