Ik weet het niet helemaal zeker, maar volgens mij zijn er twee versies van de 8250i (dus wel met dezelfde naam...):
Eerst was er de Philips-versie (met 18 gleufjes op het frontje en een klepje voor de cd-lade). Deze gaf schijnbaar problemen, want toen kwam er een Sony-versie (met 4 gleufjes op het frontje).
Dit stond op

"There are indications that HP shipped two different drives as the 8250, both with the same read and write speeds. The first was the Philips CDD4201, identifiable by about 18 tiny slots along the bottom of the face, with a hinged "drawbridge" loading door. The second was the Sony CRX120E, which has 4 slots along the bottom of the face, and no hinged door. The popular consensus is that the Philips versions are problematic. (It now appears their may be a third: HP is rebadging Mitsumi 4804TE in their Pavilion 6648C computers. There doesn't appear to be an HP model number associated with the drive though, so it may not actually appear in an 8250.)"
