blusubaru, $32AR shipped @ Meritline.com or $36 shipped @ Newegg but no rebate.
I'm not a fan of Lightscribe, prefer the color from my R200. DL writing at 8x on + or - media & the Bit Set ability is a great addition, along with the 5X DVD-RAM (if you can find the discs!).
Ken , yeah the Lite-On. I like their drives too!

I'm with you, I print on my Epson R300 and have no need for a LS burner. I got rid of all of my DVD-Ram hardware and discs four years ago and haven't looked back. But $36 for the old one is a fairly good deal.

Two new drives just started shipping, one is the IO Data ABM16G 12x DVD RAM drive, and the other is the Plextor PX769A 18X DVD-RW drive.

Funny, but my flashed DVR-110D will write to DVD-RAM at 5X too.
When I was looking, I couldn't find a DVR-110 or an NEC ND-4550A (both support DVD-RAM) available to buy. So, I did the next best thing, buy a DVR-110D and flash it!
Why don't companies want to ship DVD-RAM capable drives to the US market?

Hi Gang,
Sorry...I just posted this in another LightScribe thread...but this thread looked promising too.
Which LightScribe enabled burners can be used as replacements for the Mac's internal drive? I thought that LaCie was the only company with Mac support. Can any LightScribe drive be used as long as you have some Mac software?
Thanks!
