Hi Steve. OK, find the dvd drive in my computer, go in to properties then the hardware tab, you'll find all the drives you've installed in your machine there. Kindly tell me what drive is used if you would. All the best, Ibrahim. ----- Original Message ----- From: Steve Nutt To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Sunday, July 12, 2009 11:09 AM Subject: [access-uk] Re: CNM external Drive Hi, I am not sure what the mechanism is, but it works well, even with one USB lead like you said.

You mentioned that you had bought one of these drives. How do you find it and what drive mechanism does your drive use? I have a Sony Optiarc for which a firmware update is available to version 1.02 from 1.01 which is already in the drive. I ask because a friend is considering buying one of these for her netbook and I want to make sure I give her the right information. All the best, Ibrahim.
