I had to buy an external USB drive as my old Archos is not class-compliant and needs drivers to operate with Windows. So I was looking at the current models on the market, and I ended up buying the LiteOn ETDU108, similar to this:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Liteon-ETDU108-02-External-Slimline-Black/dp/B002EPD6BO

The reason I took this one is that it is reasonably cheap, has the relevant specs 8x DVD 24x CD-RW (no need for better than that with the Kronos), but specifically, because it is a top loader as opposed to the sliding door sort which most slim models are. That way, I can put it on the left of my 73, near the vector joystick, and it's easier to load disks.

Have you burned an audio cd from your Kronos using just this? Thanks.

No, not yet. But as a class compliant device, it should work. Will report more when the postman delivers it.

Well, the drive arrived today, and it's going back to the dealer.

I made a mistake on the model, and they both look the same, with both having Nero 9 on the box !

The model I got was eTDU108. The model you want, which also does burner is eTAU108 or eTAU208 !

Right, back to the dealer for a swap !
