Yes, but all the mechanical problems with the NeXT laser are the same problems
as those with any HP Laserjet-Series II. It's the same engine :-).

I'd rather find out if the rumor about systematic design flaws in the old
Optical Drive is true. Maybe it is irrelevant---if NeXT has an upgrade program
to a bigger OD, soon, though. I would expect more recent drives to be a bit
more rugged.
