+ | The CR-563-B is the drive used for the 3DO Creative Blaster and is generally less common than other drives. It may be branded as Creative, Matsushita, or Panasonic. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The CR-503-C and CR-503K were used in Apple computers and external AppleCD drives. This includes the AppleCD 300 Plus and AppleCD 300i, though they may not have exclusively used these drives. The CR-503-B is not yet confirmed to contain the same internals. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Through searching, the IBM 06H3847 may be a rebranded CR-503-C drive.This is only based on a few listings that claim it to be. Some listings claim the IBM part number to be 4x, which would be incorrect for the CR-503-C drive. | ||

+ | Sourcing replacement lasers by part number can be tricky. The Sanyo SF-92.5 in particular. While common, most of the available stock does not have the correct ribbon configuration. While it is technically possible to mix parts from the new and old laser, very few people have accomplished this so far. | ||
+ | |||
+ | It may be advantageous to buy an entire drive vs just the laser. Purchasing an entire drive will give many replacement parts for an FZ-1 CD drive. More generally it is a known practice for sellers to strip old computer parts and sell their pieces separately. At this time, it is not clear if lasers marked as NOS from places like Aliexpress are truly NOS, though they appear to work most of the time. Buying a known working CD drive can get you a known working laser, even if the previous usage and future lifespan are unknown. | ||
