i just noticed that the premium is discontinued (probably ages ago). so adam, did you buy spares for that? do plex have an equivalent new product?

I'm sure the PX-716A (IDE CD/DVD drive) replaced the Premium. I checked it supports the same formats (read & write CD-Text, CD+G, UPC, ISRC, etc).
Maybe we snapped up a spare Premium that was remaining in stock. In any case, each system has a 716 installed (one also with the Premium, one with a SCSI PlexWriter & Exabyte, and the other with removable SCSI drive bay).
