  1. If your drive is already installed in your PC system, you can determine the model the way it is identified in the Windows' Device Manager. On the desktop, right-click on My Computer, select Properties from the drop-down menu, select the Device Manager tab from the System Properties window, double-click on the CD-ROM section.
     

  2. For Windows 2000 and XP, in the Properties screen, click on the Hardware tab, then in the Device Manager option, you can find your drive's information under the CD/DVD Drives category.

 

Slim Line Models

  1. The Slim line models feature the LED, eject button, and emergency eject button only.
     

  2. The slim line of TEAC models is purchased by system integrators that design their own systems.  If you are looking for a replacement drive or are thinking of adding one of these models to your system, please contact the manufacturer of your system to make sure that the system has the proper connections and is electrically and physically compatible.
