Home for RPC-1, nX burning speed on generic medias, 12x unlock ripping speed for DVDs, and more

Drives I have and worked on:

LG DRD-8160B (DVD-ROM 16x drive)
DVR-A03/103, DVR-A04/104, DVR-A05/105, DVR-A06/106,
DVR-A07/107, DVR-A08/108, and DVR-A10/110D

- Over than 500 DVD-R medias (DVD-R), to achieve the best write strategy for you.
- A DVR-A03/103 drive already dead in the process (I paid over US$ 700 when I bought it).
- Three HDs (2x120GB and 1x160GB) were lost in due the poor Power Supply quality.
- Over 4 (four) years in research, thinking, ideas, try & retry, etc.
