    Ancient CD-ROM drives

    I wanted to know if there were any other forum users out there who may have used the following mid-1990s drives for ripping audio:

    Code:
    CREATIVE BLASTER CD 4X 
    CREATIVE CD-420E
    CREATIVE CD-620E
    CREATIVE CD-820E
    CREATIVE CD-1220E
    CREATIVE CD-1620E
    GOLDSTAR GCD-R542B
    GOLDSTAR GCD-R560B
    GOLDSTAR GCD-R580B
    HITACHI CDR-7730
    HITACHI CDR-7830
    HITACHI CDR-7930
    PHILIPS PCA82CD
    PHILIPS PCA82CR
    PHILIPS PCA83CR
    PHILIPS PCA84CD
    PHILIPS PCA84CR
    PHILIPS PCA102CD
    PHILIPS PCA103CD
    PHILIPS PCA104CD
    PHILIPS PCA122CD
    PHILIPS PCA123CD
    PHILIPS PCA162CD
    PHILIPS PCA163CD
    PHILIPS PCA202CD
    PHILIPS PCA203CD
    PHILIPS PCA242CD
    PHILIPS PCA243CD
    PHILIPS PCA322CD
    PHILIPS PCA323CD
    PHILIPS PCA362CD
    PHILIPS PCA363CD
    SAMSUNG SCR-630
    SAMSUNG SCR-631
    SAMSUNG SCR-830
    SAMSUNG SCR-831
    SAMSUNG SCR-1230
    SAMSUNG SCR-1231
    SONY CDU-55E
    SONY CDU-311
    SONY CDU-511
    While it's true that some of these models don't rip at all (or least, very badly), I wanted to know which ones exactly do and don't. Since many of these drives are too old to have made the cut for accuraterip's database, I also wanted to know if anyone had (or may still have) working models so as to give some feedback of what these drives can and can't do - as well additional data that can't be found elsewhere online (like read offsets, if they have consistant ones and whatnot).

    Thanks in advance for any help.
