MS2.312 Doesn't Detect Ricoh MP9120A

[MEESTER HAM]

I'M STILL RUNNING MICROSTUDIO 2.312 AND HAVING NO PROBLEMS. AM I UNDERSTANDING CORRECTLY THAT VERSION 2.314 WILL RECONIZE ALL CD ROM DRIVES, BUT NOT SUPPORT ALL OF THEM? I NOTICED IN THIS THREAD THAT A PLEXTOR 24/10/40 CD RW WAS PURCHASED AND WILL NOT WORK. BUT THE ADMINSTRATOR SAID IT WOULD. I GUESS I AM A LITTLE DENSE OR MAYBE A WHOLE LOT DENSE, BUT WAS THE DRIVE PURCHASED FROM MTU? IF IT WAS PURCHASED FROM MTU, I'M SURE IT WAS TESTED BY THEM BEFORE SHIPPING. I'M SURE YOU CAN BUY THESE PRODUCT FROM OTHER SOURCES OTHER THAN MTU, BUT DOES THIS MEAN THAT THEY ARE CDG TESTED BEFORE SHIPPED OUT.
I KNOW I'M A LITTLE STUBBORN ,AFTER ALL I AM FROM THE SHOW ME STATE,BUT I LIKE TO KNOW THAT SOMETHING WILL WORK FOR ME BEFORE I BUY. BRIAN, I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF I WOULD BUY A PLEX WRITER SOMEWHERE ELSE CAN I BE SURE THAT IT WILL BE SUPPORTED WITH MTU'S PROGRAMS? HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY. I ALREADY HAVE THE 16/10/40A PLEX WRITER THAT I PURCHASED FROM MTU.
