| I think one of the best resources for a drive capability is the CloneCD Hardware Requirements Sony CRX160e: Great drive. Can read and write almost all protections but does not support SafeDisc 2. PSX should be no problem. Too bad is has no burnproof technology. Ricoh 7083a: Is has the same capabilities but is has no Burnproof technology either (at least none that CloneCD supports) which is a big disadvantage when burning at high speeds... Mitsumi 4805te: Same as the Ricoh... I would go for the Sony... However, Ricoh and Mitsumi are basically the same and are also very good drives. The choice is yours

| Oops I just saw that the Sony CRX160e also has no burnproof technology so my previous recommendation was pretty useless... Sorry I don't know about 90 minutes CD-R with the Sony since it's not mentioned in this list. The Ricoh and Mitsumi can make SafeDisc 2 back-ups that work in the recorder and so far that's the only difference I can see between the mentioned drives... My SafeDisc 2 list can be found here. Sorry I can't help you more

| I tried to find some reviews (tried http://www.cd-rw.org http://www.cdrwcentral.com http://www.cdr-info.com , etc.) on these drives but couldn't find any... sorry I think you can go for the Mitsumi because it has a good reputation (but so does the Sony and Ricoh). As long as you stay away from Philips you should be ok
