Plextor 1610A or Plestor 1210S

Interesting.

Plextor Europe --- State of play in the CD-ROM / CD-RW Market ---
Some of you may have seen a statement elsewhere on Plextor Europe dropping
it's SCSI production of CD-ROM drives. Well, we contacted Plextor Europe to
get a response to this,
and here is what was said:

Does Plextor Europe plan to stop producing SCSI CD-ROM drives?".
"Plextor Europe will try to continue selling SCSI CD-ROM drives as long as
possible, but
seeing the shortage in some components, we believe that around summer period
this
year, we could see a formal EOL of this product."

Does Plextor plan to release a SCSI version of the PX-W1610TA ?
"Plextor will not release a SCSI version of the 16/10/40 CD-R/W. We will
continue to commercialize our 12/10/32 SCSI version."

Can you tell me what Plextors Road Map is for the next 6 months ?
"It is for me not possible to disclose anything with regards to Plextors
road map or new planned products. Plextor has the policy to announce and
release products, as and when we know they will be available to the market.
In this way, the market always knows exactly what and when they can expect
something new from Plextor. We want to avoid (as unfortunately a lot of our
competitors do) to announce a product very early, and then have to delay it,
and in this way confuse the market."

Other questions were asked, but Plextor Europe declined to comment or answer
them for us

How do you know that? Can you cite a source, please?

Plextor are not doing a SCSI version of the 16x CDRW and they should
know what they're doing.

Don't waste any more money on SCSI gear...
you might even get some money for the card.. just sell it.

If you already have the SCSI card installed and money is not an isue, then
SCSI is definitely the way to go
...

SCSI.
