I got a few optical drives in the mail today. Let's get them tested. Time for a quick 🧵

Okay, here we go. First up is a Toshiba XM-5302B. This is a 4X IDE drive! I loaded a Microsoft Money '99 CD into the drive, and this drive works GREAT!!

Next up, we have this Mitsumi CRMC-FX4831T 48X drive. Once again, we load up the MS Money disk, and pass!!

Our final drive in this 3 pack of drives I bought is a 40X LiteOn LTN-403 with Compaq branding. And it is a pass as well!

Alright, short and sweet, on the stack they go! I don't have an immediate use for these, but given I got them for $38 shipped, I thought I'd go for it. Thanks for following along!
