Summary: ACER 6206 CD-RW Drive
Review: This drive is slow by today's standards, but it is a solid piece of gear. I found that it was auto-detected by Windows versions from Win95a through Windows XP. It is NOT on the WinXP HCL, but it worked properly the first time without any problem. Mine has outlasted 2 system boards and is working on its 6th version of Windows. The firmware is easily upgraded with Internet available tools.
One caveat; it has no buffer under-run protection, so you would be forced to suspend all other activities while burning your cd. I thinki t is a bit pricey.

Summary: good drive.
Review: you know, despite what others say, this is a good little drive. I have had a 99% success rate with CD's on this thing. And for a 2X writer, it is pretty damn fast...I wouldn't play a game off of it, but still its fast. It may not be the best, but it is far from the worst.
