LASER FOR 3DO FZ-10 FOUND AT CREATIVE CD-ROM DRIVES
Ok people,
I don't know if someone already post this but i found that the CREATIVE SB (Sound Blaster) CD-ROM drive has the exactly the same laser that 3DO FZ-10 has too.
The CD-ROM is this:
It's the same Sanyo SF 92.5 4/11 short cables.
I already change my old faulty 3DO laser and works after a little little adjustament.
3DO alive again !
Good luck to find thoose drivers.
Look at Pentium 100 or 133 Mhz, usually has that.

Other CD-Rom models?
Better yet, is there any way to identify other 2X CD-Rom drives, i.e. Sanyo, Sony, etc., that may contain this elusive Sanyo SF92.5 laser pickup? Is the drive speed and laser pickup dependent on one another, i.e., can a Sanyo SF92.5 laser pickup only work at 2X speeds or will they be present in higher speed drives as well?
I hope someone can answer these questions as my 3DO just went out, and I'd rather repair than replace the unit.

Just to let people know, I tracked down a Creative CR-563B at ultradrives.com. The drive cost $3. The shipping was $21. For standard shipping no less. Either way, I switched out the pickup and my 3DO is as good as new now.
I also noticed that the 3DO drive and the Creative CD have identical internals; other parts can be harvested to repair 3DO drives, i.e, tray motor, CD spin motor, etc.
Ultradrives also sells a Sanyo ECR-502 2X CD-ROM drive with a proprietary AT-Bus. Does anyone know if this drive contains the SF 92.5 4/11 pick-up?
