RE: AS/400 CDs

Pete,

At GNP, we ran a cleaner CD through it a couple of times.  Didn't do it any
harm, and it did seem to read better (apparently fewer retries) afterward.
I don't know who makes them, but there's nothing unusual about the drives,
except the price and the slowness (4x for the 6321-001, 8x for the
6321-002).
