" From: Michael Bailey <route66rambler@xxxxxxxxx> " " ----------> Hey Brien, I was looking up this part " number for you on my 1967-1972 master parts CD, when " (no $#!+) the disc exploded inside of the drive. " Like a huge horrible boom noise. I thought a hubcap " fell off the side of my house. The CD exploded. So I " opened the drive, all this confetti fell out, no more " work please. I checked my 73 Illustration Supplement, " but it only shows 73 changes, and all it lists is the " rubber ones. " Now I've got an excuse for a DVD r/w/amc + - whatever " drive. Hopefully a Pierre Cardin. What? Sorry. Ears " ringing. exploding cds aren't uncommon; they were never designed for '52x' operation. imho superspeed cd and/or dvd drives are a hazard. if you really want fast access to the data, copy it onto a hard drive. of course, the access tool may be hard-coded to look for a cd drive... ________________________________________________________________________ Andrew Hay the genius nature internet rambler is to see what all have seen adh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and think what none thought
