Are you sure that you aren't just unlucky? So far, I have received reports from quite a lot of people that it works fine without "jitter", but only one report from a person who had a problem with that (using a pretty old drive, AFAIR). By the way, "tosha" supports a lot more drives than just Toshiba. In fact I believe that all major vendors of SCSI CD-ROM drives and CD writers are supported.
