I guess you're probably sorted now but for the record.....
I don't fully understand Lite-On's numbering system but basically the
1673 is now quite an old drive and a lot of places no longer have it.
The 1693 replaced it and in fact was the same hardware. Indeed it is
possible to make a 1673 into a 1693 by crossflashing the firmware (not
for the faint hearted though). The 1693 is now no longer made either
and has been replaced by the 1635.
It is different hardware to the other 2, but I would imagine not all
that different. The main differences spec wise are slightly faster
read / write times I think My feeling is that it will probably work,
but would be interested to know if you tried it and whether it did or
not, in case I ever need to replace mine

Having ordered the recommended drive through Amazon, I have been sent the
model SHW-1635S02C instead.
Note that's 35 instead of 73.
Is this likely to work or not? Does anyone know?
Can anyone pinpoint the difference between the two?
