Hey there,
          I just called a couple of mail-order companies and they told
me that NEC has stop producing their double speed cdrom drives any more.
Can anyone please confirm on this piece of news ?

Also, do anyone own the tripple speed drive ?
I am tempted to get one but am afraid that it might not be widely
supported in the future or CD's might never take advantage of the higher speed.
I now that current CD's wil not take the full advantage of the drive as the
material used is too soft for spinning at tripple speed.

Thanks for any info,
Ben.
