Yes there is. I got mine from MTU and it is in the laptop I bought from MTU! Don't know the model number off hand but it is a Plextor of course.

I have heard that a tech that knows what they are doing can remove an IDE drive from it's case and install it in a laptop.

Dunno, just what I heard.

All I know guys is that my laptop from MTU (2002 ?)came with a DVD drive. And of course it would not play CDG's. I then called MTU and ordered a Plextor drive to go in it's place. I had no trouble putting it in. And I can asure you I'm no "Techy" I would suggest contacting MTU and even ask them to check my records so they know what model and type they sent me. The laptop by the way is a Prostar.

bobcox,

Had a chance at lunch to check my drive. My systems device manager shows it to be a Plextor CD-R PX-S88T. Hope this helps.

My Dell laptop came with a Sony and it works with the newest Hoster. I know Plextor works better.

Here is what's posted on the news page.

Hoster™ 3.120
We are adding new code to interface to almost any CDROM and CDR-DVDR burner to read CDG format discs. This means whatever drives you have will PROBABLY WORK with Hoster 3.120! This will also allow importing the last track on Multisession discs, and importing VCD disc tracks as KMA files. MTU CDG Certified drives are still the highest quality available, able to even clean up some scratched discs while importing. V3.120 is a free upgrade to all who own Hoster 3.1.



Sounds like it won't matter which drive you use later.

Long time again, when Kedmison purchased, we were able to buy a THIN-LINE CDR drive and install it in a Laptop. It took lots of filing to make it fit, and broke the warrenty. We stopped that.

There are no CDG capable thin-line CDR drives today. We are working 100% now on getting the new code to work with most CDR/DVDR drives. It will finally release as 3.2, not 3.120. Some things take more time than expected.

Plextor no longer makes this drive that we were puttin the Laptops. I also had to cut the edges off of this drive and sand it down smooth to make it fit in the Laptops. This was alot of work for each drive, so this is why we no longer can do it. As stated Hoster 3.120 should be better with the new drivers and support.

It should work on any drive that will work with CDGRipper, Audiograbber and Disc Juggler. If the drives won't work with these other programs, ours won't beable to allow it to work either, due to the drive not supporting the MMC information correctly.
