INFO: Matsushita-Kotobuki (Panasonic) SW-9501 scsi-2 DVD Burner (AKA Gamecube NR-Writer). I've tested the drive with Nero, Prassi Ones, and Alcohol 120, all is working. The SW-9501 can also be used for Gamecude development in the creating of NR Master Disk.
...Hmmmm strange, your piccy and the details above are the same as subbie's! ...I presume there was several NR-Writers on offer from the same seller?
Won on an auction of ebay to this link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=44955&item=5196563170&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW
WTF? are you just posting this because you found it? That is the exact burner I bought (i'm the winner of that auction). It just showed up today. --edit-- I even have a topic posted about it.

I wonder where he got it from because it came with a CD full of interesting things that should not be given away freely.
hi, mine were only of the information that I wanted give I have not never said to you to have gained an auction :smt009
There are a couple of differences. - the scrambling seeds are fixed to another value for NR-discs, which is a differnet one than the ones on a normal DVD - the first 6 bytes of each dvd sector as used for data, i.e. the data is moved 6 bytes to the beginning (thus the CPR.MAI field is used) - they have a special leading ("physical volume information" etc.) Basically NR-Discs are like retail disc, just that they don't have a BCA ("barcode") and the seed is fixed, whereas on original discs, there are like 16 possibilities depending on some bytes ...
