(I know I had mixed luck with TEAC drives... as I recall issues about
the sensor switches going up in resistance... I remember popping
the backs off the switches on one and cleaning them up inside and
restoring proper operation of the drive).
Older Teac drives are better(and generally more configurable) than
the cost-reduced newer ones. I find that NEC and Toshiba drives,
particularly the older ones are pretty good. My experiences with
Sony, Chinon and Epson have been variable.
