is this a PC9821 CDRom unit or something? I thought they were black, I remember seeing pictures of black japanese drives used on NEC computers. How many devices uses PCE compatible CDRom hardware?

Oh damn, didn't saw those threads before, my bad. In my defense I can't really search anything here even with google though.

Does it have PCE CD-Rom2 internals or did you leave it with the original internals?

If it doesnt work with the IFU, why would it work with a Vistar?

Swap the guts from an original drive. Just use the shell.
