Did you have any further insight on this slowdown issue?

I've been off email for a little while (quota full, disastrous HDD + OS
upgrade - during which (amongst other problems!), I blew up one HDD
caddy and my laptop's optical drive gave up - permanently after I tried
to manually tweak the laser powers!)

You'll probably know how nasty CD drive laser power adjustments are, and
that it was a desperate thing to try. I think I tweaked them more than I
imagined, and have now lost the ability to get back to where I started..
The drive does different things depending on how I set the power, but
I've not got it working again!

Still, at Â20 for a Sony / Optiarc replacement, it wasn't such a
disaster, just a setback. Why I buy Sony though, I don't know (other
than the original OEM drive was Optiarc), as I generally detest Sony
hardware.
