I installed a RICOH first time round, and wasn't too happy with it
(principally because it was quite unreliable about detecting the CD
for reading -- about 2 failures in 5 -- but it also didn't properly
locate the start of the CD when writing).
As a result, the shop changed it for an LG CED-8989B which seems
to work perfectly well in both directions.
Hope this helps,
Ted.
