Don't know about the other two.

For the MicroAdvantage burner, if the S/N starts with a 'P', then it's a BTC, as that seems to be their marking patterns. Also, it's a 52/32/52, BCE5232IM.

These CDRW's were on sale just 2 weeks ago for $5 AR, so not a great deal.

when? where?
i'm looking for a good deal on a CDRW burner but must've missed this one.

[KTL]

It was at OM as well. The Micro Advantage 52/32/52 drive had two serial number codes, actually, one started with 'P', the other one 'C'. I'm not sure who the 'C' is from. I actually had the BTC, but after reading a review based off the 5232IM, since the firmware version was the same, I decided to return it, since the reviewer said it didn't work well with TY CDR media. Of course, a firmware update could correct the problem.

If anybody here is in Portland Oregon metro area the Gresham OfficeMax as of today at 10am still had 5 boxes of Pacific Digital drives with serials 41a and 10? so at least some of what they have are NEC 2500 drives. I wanted a LiteOn 851 but those serials are all gone.
I got a 2500 last week from this same store.
The 205 store had only Kyhpermedia drives left.

[Ian]

My local OM is retarded. They only had the sale tag on the KHypermedia drive. They did have a sale tag on the PD drive, but it said "109.99" after MIR on it. They must really want you to buy the KHyper drives.

[Dartman]

A guy was returning one of those while I was there and a employee was saying they might have got a bad batch as many had come back. You should call em on that Ian or try another close store. I have 2 almost the same time apart here.

[Ian]

I wasn't there to buy one. Just looking around while the wife was clothes shopping.

[rmdir]

I had the same problem with what I think was a bad one about a month ago. I could not get my CPU to get past POST with the thing in it, unless I disabled the device in BIOS entirely. I took it back and asked if there had been any other returns, but the guy said I was the only return he knew of. I'd be willing to bet that one got put back on the shelf for som other poor soul to buy.

[fpenny]

Went to OM today,(Selma,CA) and got 2 Pacific Digital 8x burners. They had at least 10 left. Mine were both NEC-2500a's The S/N's were...
