Only one rev number worked. The exact model number that we are using successfully is: CD-224E-CC7 Part No. 1977047C-C7 HW/FW Rev. 01/9.9A Manufactured March 2003 The barcode information is: CT: 7673C01D50H4GS P/N: 314933-932 All of the above is on the Compaq label with the serial number on it. There are several different CD drives with the model "CD-224" on them. We had to have our friendly DEC/Compaq/HP service engineer come out with a handfull of CD drives to figure out the problem. HP says that they don't support RH9 on their server-class machines. We're on our own about this.... Carl Carl G.
