Hi:
Thanks for your input. I trust SuperMediaStore to be very honest
and reliable.
Currently, I'm using a Pioneer 111 in my PC and I read that its re-
placement (112) has had problems and that's why I selected the
Sony unless you've had experience with the 112.
Can you suggest a merchant to purchase a 1-1 duplicator from?
I've checked out at least 10 and most don't have more the 16mb
of memory. I feel this is an important component--don't you?
I just purchased some TYs which I find to be the most reliable.
Thanks again.
Richard
