Sim, I'll do a deal with you.
I have a SCSI Toshiba XM3701B CD drive here that you can have. It was the first CD ROM I used in my A4000T. It is slow (6 speed if I remember correctly) and the tray is noisy upon eject and reload, but it works. I upgraded to a SCSI Yamaha re-writer.
What do I want for it?
A couple of bars of that Cadbury's Black Forest that I can't get here in the UK or in South Africa.
I'll send you the drive and then when you've seen it works, you send me a couple bars. How does that sound?
