Hey,

Two parts to this one:

1) I have had a bit of trouble with this drive from day one, sometime back in April 2000! I've burned many CDs without incident, but quite often, the drive is not recognized. Sometimes turning it on/off or unplugging from Firewire works. Sometimes not. Often when I lose the drive, the eject button doesn't work and I must turn to the old paperclip.

Any thoughts/similar experiences?

2) If I am fed up with this drive, can anyone tell me if I could crack the case and install another (internal) CD-RW into this enclosure? How about a hard drive? Or might it be the enclosure that is faulty?

Thanks.
Indeed, I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just.
