The same here.... Princo stopped being shipped here because they are being sued by Phillips. So I guess you won't be able to find them anymore At least until the court decide something.

The discs I use have black surface, and they say they are "Cursor" branded... But I get this info from them:


This Disc is designed for CD-RW/COMBO Drive Only.
Disc Type, Material = CD-R, Phthalocyanine
ATIP Lead-in = 97m 16s 06f
Norminal Capacity = 702.83MB (79m 59s 73f)
Disc Manufacturer maybe = Memorex Black
SMART-BURN Speed Limit = 24X


I don't understand that "CD-RW/Combo" thing, the discs works on every unit I've used

The fact is they load as nice as originals in my PS2

Greets!

Does anyone know if the Toshiba SD-R5002 drive is compatible with princo and ritek media???

yeah can't get princo branded princo's anymore because of the royalty thing. But there's still unbranded cdr media coming out of the princo factories. As dust4dust said, there are many different grades. thx1138 if your here in Melbourne and searching for princos go for a brand called 'shintaro'. The distributors for Princo here are bringing these in from the princo factory and running them as their own brand.

Hope it helps,
