Currently, my T-Online (DSL)DNS cannot resolve this address. Since it is 
only a relocator (I guess), I found the pages at

Lucky me, I still have my good old Pioneer-303-SCSI-DVD-Drive in my 
Win98-machine, which is RPC1 as long as I leave that jumper plugged in 
:-)
I still would prefer those Pioneers, because of the 
Slot-In-loading-mechanism, which is just great (and which would it make 
easier to get a black front).

And it is relatively cheap. Regarding the current c't-test, I would also 
prefer that one.
