Have an offer of a disused hP DVD-R/W, model DVD200i, ca '03 vintage -- but the web-mind has mixed reviews, most converging on:

those cheap %^#$&-tards at hP want $ + snail-mail-only s-l-o-w delivery of even -- drivers!
(as I also found out, re Carly's boutique-HP: when simply seeking drivers to convert the hP nb --> 9.x, the OS it came out with. Then, you had to go through A Technician™ @ $40ish a pop IIRC -- to get Anything. In past: these were on the site for the d/l-ing; then they got greedier. Screw hP.)

Saw the imgburn ap, may give it a go; alas, Peter's selection ends in the ominous -'XP', making it a noncontender (on a 600 MHz, even if I didn't already despise its malware-magnetic attractors and complexified-bloat.)

Will have to put self in a lowered-consciousness state in order to move on to the autopsies; for next while, think I'll just let the sucker marinate, maybe take a look at the drive-screw / laser window.. Sometimes ya gets lucky.
