The one I got Memorial Day worked fine for my one-off Linux install (and the couple of times I had to read an RPM off the disc). Then again, that’s about all I use a CD-ROM drive for these days–initial install of the OS.

Thanks for the link.

It was a tough find but a link is here http://canada.cnet.com/downloads/0-10109-601-3291915.html.
Out of 28 responses 45% said "yuk". Soooooo, I would think caution is advised here.
I went looking because I am in the process of building a 2nd computer out of my old parts and needed a cd-rom but I for one will not be purchasing this one..:)
