When it comes to CD/DVD in a retro-system, the DVD1640 was my favorite drive.
It's very very silent in CD and DVD mode. None other drive I have is nearly as silent then these.
Over the years I have bought about 10-12 DVD1640 drives.
All! have the same issue now! Drive is reading fine, but the drive-bay NEVER! opens. You have to use the "manuell eject" via small metal nail.
What is the problem here, how is the "open drive bay" implemented in this drive.
That's a stupid failure!
