Pre Purchase Questions

[BooBoo]

In reading through some of the other threads, (namely the one from the bootlegger) I see that sometimes one drive from a brand and model will work while the next of the same brand and model may not. I would assume, then, that just because I may have found a machine that has a drive that might work, the next machine may not. It's pretty hard to understand this, although I do understand that not every drive is created exactly the same in the factories. Why is it so hard to make a drive that is fully supported?

I post this for anyone that might be new, like me, so that I don't steer them in the wrong direction....
