I just got my first samples of Maxell's 2.4x DVD+R9 media in today, and it turns out they are using Verbatim's media code (MKM001). LOL, I guess my Maxell rep was telling the truth when he told me it would be at least as good as Verbatim!
It remains to be seen who is manufacturing the media for them, but the current speculation is CMC with the appropriate royalties paid to Verbatim of course. I'll be comparing serial numbers later when I have more brain power. I'm currently running on just short of 3 hours of sleep, after battleing with a corrupted HDD trying to salvage my review data for the LG 4163B (if anyone is wondering why it isn't up yet...). Luckily, I think I was successful.
Post #3500... wow!
