Abbreviations on unknown drive models.

[TC'97]

Does anyone have any idea what the abbreviations tagged onto certain unknown CD-ROM drives models mean?

Here's a list as they are listed in the accuraterip database:

E-IDE - CD-950E-AKU
E-IDE - CD-950E-TKU
E-IDE - CD-952E-TKU
E-IDE - CD-ROM 24X-AKOx *
E-IDE - CD-ROM 32X-AKU
E-IDE - CD-ROM 36X-AKU
E-IDE - CD-ROM 36X-AKW
E-IDE - CD-ROM 40X-AKH
E-IDE - CD-ROM 40X-AKU
E-IDE - CD-ROM 48X-AKH
E-IDE - CD-ROM 48X-TKU
E-IDE - CD-ROM 52X-AKH
E-IDE - CD-ROM 56X-AKH
E-IDE CD - -952E-AKV
E-IDE CD - -956E-AKV

* Please note: This particular model is what the BIOS and EAC identifies as the PHILIPS PCA243CD/M2 model.

But what do all these other abbreviations like AKH, AKOx, TKU, etc. stand for?

Probably an model number internal to the company who make it.
