The quality seemed to take a nosedive around when they stopped making
SCSI burners.  Maybe they got bought or something.

My old Plexwriter ultrawide SCSI burner probably made 10,000 discs
before it died.  I have a newer ATAPI Plexwriter 48/24/48A here that's
probably burned less than 1000 and half the time the tray won't open
unless I stick a paperclip in there.
