The romours are it's a Liteon 163. Probably true but they repackage a lot of drives so check the serials to make sure. Might even be a newer Liteon by now like a 166.

They apparenlty don't do it with DVD-ROM drives or have stopped doing it...
No model number anywhere n the box (except of course for the CenDyne model number itself) on mine purchased yesterday.

ok, VEFF, but was it a Lite-On 163 ?

dodecahedron,

I haven't opened the box yet.
I already have a few month old Artec 16X and a Hi-Val (rebadged BTC)
12X DVD-ROM...
I am not sure if I am keeping it.

I have a guest coming over for two days today, so I have put it away in the closet for now. Just cleaned the place up...

Hey VEFF, if it's not going to your guest or someone else, I'll buy it off you :) I'm in the market for a new DVD-Rom, and was looking at either the Lite-On or the LG 16x.

I'll let you know Fuct; I may be interested.
My guest just left and my mind is a bit preoccupied at the moment, but I'll try to reply tomorrow...
