You may be somewhat interested in my story then: I'm an owner of a Phillips CDD2000 cd, this is the one that the class-action lawsuit was filed on. Well, I recieved a brand-new replacement Phillips CDROM drive in the mail a couple weeks ago, as a result of settling that class action. Only problem was - they sent an IDE burner, NOT a SCSI burner. The class-action was filed on the SCSI burners. Needless to say Phillips found a way to worm out of the settlement and screw the consumers again, since the IDE burners are of course cheaper than the SCSI ones. I figured that it took 4 years to get the bastards to make good on their crappy hardware and I wasn't going to wait another 4 years, besides that my wife's Winblows system works great with it and they at least did ship out Adaptec EasySleasy creator which reads ISO's.
