Well, the A8V is quoted in the compatibilty-list for the PX716SA, so I would guess, that the 712SA should be too! Anyway, the 712SA was reconized by the A8V and I could burn *some* CD and DVD. But I was often getting errors after "Lead in". After I turned the SA into an A the drive burns flawless! So I would asume there is a more *complex* compatibility problem.

I think Plextor's compatibility list is faulty and incomplete. How can on ordenary customer decide by that list, if SATA is compatible with his/her motherbord/chipset? It is definitly too risky!

If I only would have known before...
