I'm looking to purchase a new HP laptop to replace my old one for my Show & need to be sure this drive will work prior to purchasing it. However, HP only identifies the drive as "Optiarc" with no other description or #.

I searched "Optiarc" and came up with "Sony NEC Optiarc".

MTU's list shows several "NEC" drives and also several "Sony" drives. Neither uses the word "Optiarc".

Can anyone tell me if Hoster will read CDGs using this drive? before I purchase this new laptop.
