Anyone know of any slot load cd drives on the market? I working on some case mods and the standard tray load dirves just don't cut it. Any info you have would be great, thanks ahead of time.

Pioneer makes good DVD drives - if those will work in your case.

Thanks Rob, I'll take a look at them and see if they'll fit the plan. I appreciate the tip.

They're actually pretty high quality too.

Not a problem.

We may be incredibly unlucky, but BOTH my friend and I have Pioneer 106S's that have problems. His makes an aggravating clicking noise, and mine will get stuck in windows explorer when i navigate a cd's filesystem. I'm going to toshiba or lite-on.

I say unlucky too (or a bad batch in your area - damaged or manu). I started with the first Pioneer slotload, have bought some of each model (IDE & SCSI) since and will never go back. A few months ago I upgraded my system and bought a cheap BTC DVD to put in my old system just so I could keep my 106S. The BTC drive failed (gave my old PC to my oldest son) and I had to return it - guess what I bought to replace it? You got it - a Pioneer 106S - the best DVD-ROM drive and slotload to boot.

I thought a thought, but the thought I thought wasn't the thought I thought I had thought.

The 106S/AO6S/116S are ATA66 drives - You need to use an ATA66/100 cable if you are using it with an ATA66/100/133 controller or you will have problems. Because it is ATA66, however, I have installed mine as master on the same channel as my 16X CD-RW and it does flawless copies without resorting to burnproof - It just keeps ahead of the CD writer at full 16x burn. Most CD/DVD-ROMs can't do that on a single channel.

I thought a thought, but the thought I thought wasn't the thought I thought I had thought.

allthough my friend used his 116 for a while on an old ata33 cable, and got decent use outta it.

my first slot load was a 32x cdrom. bit loud, but very fun to use.
