I have a ND-1100A, and it has been working great with the modified=20
firmware.  The 1100A only burns +R discs, but it has worked great for me=20
so far; I don't think that it has burned a single coaster yet.

However, I have only used it under Windows, I can't speak for its FreeBSD=
=20
compatibility.

If I was to upgrade, I would definitely choose another NEC burner.  (Which=
=20
is funny, because I bought the original because it was the cheapest one=20
for sale at a local store at the time.  Only after I got it home and out=20
of the box did I find out that it was a rebranded NEC.  I'm lucky that I=20
didn't get a piece of junk!)
