Ok, so I'm not alone and am not an isolated case. This is a problem other 
people are experiencing. Does anyone have any ideas what's going on, or a 
suggestion for a fix? I put in a PR already but nothing has been 
commented on it and it could be months/years before it catches someone's 
eye on there.

I've now purchased 2 CDRW/DVD drives, neither work. If I have to buy a 
3rd one, I'd like some sort of assurances as to what to buy that would 
work. Preferably SATA but I'll settle for PATA if I have to, but I don't 
want to have to buy a 4th.
