WTB: PC optical drive ide (cd/dvd etc)

John_P

Long shot I know but I need a replacement optical drive - something that can burn cd's would be fine...

It's for an oldish desktop running xp and has ide cables...

Aynoe got anything they want to part with or recommend a cheap and cheerful supplier?

I might have one. I'll check. It'll be cheap!

If you have no joy with the above ones I have 2 which you can have either or both of for the cost of postage.

One is an NEC ND-3530A DVDR/W & CDR/W - Website link http://www.cdrinfo.com/Sections/Reviews/Specific.aspx?ArticleId=13809

The other is a Benq 5232X CDRW, only though - Website link http://www.netcomdirect.com/be5252eicdbu.html

They were pulled from my eldest sons old PC and worked fine prior to that, but I could test them both to be sure if you want.

Just gives a shout if you wish.
