The reason that Plextor did this is because they were a few months behind on coming out with their Plextor PX-W708A so they decided to purchase the Ricoh drive and market it as a Plextor.
Here are the actual specs from Plextor's website:
Useable DVD Formats: DVD-ROM, DVD Video, Multi Border (closed disc read only), multi session
Useable CD Formats: CD-DA; CD-ROM Mode 1; CD-ROM Mode 2; CD-ROM XA, CD-I; Photo CD; Video CD; CD-Extra; CD Text; Multi-session, UDF
Recording DVD+R/RW Modes: Sequential write, Random access write and Disc-at-one
Then they came out with the Plextor PX-708 models that do support the CD+G formats. This was the drive they had been working on, which is why they were behind in the DVD+-R market.
