In the previous post, it is stated that the current version of Hoster is having problems with Plextor drives? Is this true? One, I thought MTU promoted and supported Plextor drives; and two, my Plextor Premium is getting ...tired. I would like to replace it with either another Plextor Premium, or preferably a Plextor 760. Should I wait for the fix?

Hey Daryl, Sam here.

3.310 & 11 has a problem with some Plextor drives (not all of them) taking up to a minute to read the disk TOC, but otherwise works OK.

3.312 tentatively due out before the end of Oct will correct this problem as well as fix a couple minor bugs and add a couple of minor features.

I wouldn't worry about it.

Sam

As Sam said, the fix upgrade for Hoster should be out by the end of the month, 10 days from now. Why go out and buy another drive when the one she has will work as soon as you upgrade her Hoster after the release?
As far as Microstudio goes I believe the 760 uses the same driver settings as the 716 and should work with version 2.613 until MTU releases the version 3.000 which will support the same drives as listed for Hoster.

I absolutely agree.

If you must have a USB external drive, buy one from the MTU on-line store. Frankly, I'd wait for Hoster 3.312. We WILL release before or on October 30... We commit to that.

Hey Sam, would you suggest staying with the Plextor Premium? Or moving to the Plextor 760? I never really quite got my drive problem fixed. I am assuming that my Plextor Premium is...tired. I have had it for 1 1/2 years, and downloaded a lot of discs. Thanks, Daryl.
