| Got the IOMagic IDVDRW8D... is actually a BTC 1008im for $99 at Staples. Had problems getting it to work right. First problem was mine... I had my IDE controller set to PIO mode cause my old DVD Matushit 8538 needed it. I fixed that by changing to allow DMA mode, but drive still did not burn right. I upgraded to firmware 54 and it seems to have fixed the problem. The buffer in NERO 5.x now stays at 98% or higher, unlike the bouncing it was doing with firware 52. I will burn a few more and report back. Comments posted by perfman from United States, January 25, 2004. Rated this writer 7 of 10. |

| Got the BTC as part of the OM substitution deal for $80. The Khypermedia +R burned aok at 2x. I have the BTC in a 1394 Pyro enclosure and it's working aok. Only problem is the firmware flash prg can't find the drive to update firmware. Is it worth updating to 54? Is there a workaround for external drives?

| I bought this as a pacific digital mach 8 U30201. I have had no problems with this burner since purchasing at office max for $80 two weeks ago. I have burnt using shrink 3.1.2 and nero 6 on verbatim datalife plus dvd+rw 2.4x media and plays great in my zenith dvb312. Comments posted by legend from United States, January 23, 2004.

| Pacific Digital Mach 8...rebagged BTC1008IM. Updated f/w to 054. Bought in Jan 04 have burned 20 or so movies using Fuji +R 2x (ricohjpnr00) that burned @ 2.4x, TDK-R 2x (TDK G02)that burned @ 2.4x, and Ritek G04 that burned @ 4x. Every disk plays perfect on my Apex 1500, Toshiba (PC) SD-M1502, and my PS2. For $80 you can't go wrong. Player has good build quality, quiet. No problems with this writer yet.

| Bought a Pacific Digital Mach-8 (8X) Dual-Media burner in early January from OfficeMax for $80 which turns out to be a rebadged BTC DRW 1008IM. Came with 052 firmware and promptly updated to 054. Using Nero 6.3.0.2, burned with Memorex & Fuji (Ricoh JPNR01 4X DVD+R & Ricoh JPNW11 4X DVD+RW) without problem. Able to burn @ 4x on both media. Unit was packaged with Roxio 6 which was nothing but trouble, Nero works great! Great deal for the price, do wish however it had greater media support for 8X.

| I have burned several different brands of DVD-R and DVD+R with this drive without any problems. I am currently using firmware revision 54, but also used revision 52 with success. Works well for me using Nero 6.3.0.2. Have also used DVDDecrypter to burn discs. Comments posted by J-Dub from Other, January 13, 2004. Rated this writer 10 of 10. |

| Bought a Pacific Digital 8X Dual-Media burner which turns out to be a rebadged BTC DRW 1008IM. Came with 0052 firmware and promptly updated to 0054. Using Nero 6.3.0.2, burned with RITEK G03's @ 2X. Burns fine. FAILS VERIFICATION @ ABOUT 85%. Tried again this time with simulation. SAME THING. I've owned a Pioneer A05 for over a year and never had this problem before. This burner is going back to the store if it can't even burn to RITEK's correctly.
