As I remember, many people had problems with its media change detection. What were the conlusions of those postings? My new Mega 4 ST has a Chinon Rev B F-354 EAA drive in it. It has been sent back to the dealer to fix the `media change problem'. I'm curious as to what official solutions that were made available. Suggestions are also appreciated. Is there a good test program for this problem? Please try to reply to me directly and I'll summarize if anyone else is in the same boat, and interested. -- Ralph P.
