My memory might be a little fuzzy, but I think that
there was some talk about
how to find good CD-R media a bit ago. I was just looking around (finally got
to Fry's) and found some Maxell "CD-RPro" disks that were Tayo-Yuden
manufacture. Packaging even said "Made in Japan" Salesman didn't have any
idea about
Japanese disks, though, and pointed out "other same brand disks" available in
larger quantities [Taiwanese, probably CMC] So, they are there, but only in
quantity 25 spindles. Perhaps a E-mail campaign to Maxell letting them know that
we approve and notice would encourage them to stay with T-Y?
Hmm, funny. I only managed to find a 10-pack of the same. Didn't see
anything about T-Y on them but then I didn't look all that much. Where
would I find on the disc or packaging that they are T-Y?
I looked but didn't see anything larger than the 10-pack. This was at the
Fremont Fry's. Which one did you find the spindle at?
