Hello all, I bought the Philips CM206 several days ago. It is an
inexpensive double speed (approx $170,) What I am wondering is if there
are any better drives out there for the same price.  Has anyone had any
problems with Philips.  Should I have gotten the Mitsumi or the Sony
33a?---Help since I can't seem to find any articles on either drive.  I
just don't want the 30 days return policy to pass and then find out I
purchased a lemon. Thank you very much for your time....
p.s. My biggest problem seems to be with periodic game lock ups- but I
think I can attribute it to port address/Irq conflicts.
