HMm, looking around on Google for info on this drive's mechanism 
brings me *lots* of bad news. Looks like the $20 I paid for it on 
eBay might gave been too much after all.

I couldn't have found this out before I bought it, since the 
seller didn't know what the internals were, but I know better now.

It seems to work OK for data CDs, though. How annoying.
