CD TEAC HELP

I ordered mine today, came out to 27 including shipping. Hope it works, since this one was pulled out of HP server.

Cheers to you guys!

Same here

Is everyone saying that they're now also able to burn using the modded drives?

shit works!!!

Just got an HP/Teac drive from Compuvest.com today for $29.99, did the mod, works good, thanks everyone who helped

What is the exact type of interface I am looking for the 2500?? Is it IDE or another type of interface. I order the dw 224e from comuvest and it is the wrong drive. Interface is wrong. And if anyone has an exact link or pictures or anything that would help.

what do you mean interface is wrong?

you gotta push in one the pins on the cd-rom drive so it doesnt set itself to master.

i got the DW-224E, it wont even fit in the slot for the drive

dude im pissed about this, did i do somethin wrong here?

i bought this one

^that's the same one I got, even same seller...you gotta take the aluminum casing off, and dont forget to push in the pin so it becomes slave

I bought a "Samsung TS-L462 24x CD-RW/8x DVD Notebook IDE Drive (Black)"

pushed in the pin 47, but doesnt work. the mpc showed the drive, and it seemed alive, but when i tried to load from it, it just froze on me, or said that "device not ready". i just wasted 50 bucks. DAMMMMiittt

that's not necessarily true, the cd drive i bought has a 2mb buffer, but it freezes when i try to load from it. i note that the pin 47 is pushed bakk.

here's the link for the cd drive

Got a drive off of ebay, and the drive doesn't fit into the bay its too big. Is there a chance I bought the wrong drive? Here is the link for the drive I bought. I'm hoping I didn't blow it!

JPetrov, it's all good.... theres 2 things you need to do..Take the alloy casing off and remove the adaptor where the pins are at the back.

Just a reminder...the pin 47 push in applies only if you have a harddrive installed...I left the pin alone and it works fine.
