well it appears like it works... on one of those links... i think it was the third there was a quote from NEC about it... saying that yes it was possible... but the optical pickup unit wasnt designed to handle that so it could generate errors with it...
if i had the drive now i would definently wait a while till more people have tried and tested it more extensively...
and if it turns out to work great... well i just might have to pick up on of those drives myself
