I've sold a few, had no problems with Pioneer & Sony drives, or the Diamond
from Mitsubishi, which was a very good price & has been well reviewed.

I have only tried clean Linux installs with these, rather than installing the
drives on existing systems, but Mandrake has had no problems detecting then &
installing a cdrecord with DVD support so far.

They seem to be pretty generic now, so brand/model incompatabilities shouldn't
be a problem.
