The Cendyne I purchased IS a Lite-On, and Toast confirms it.  You'll know
from the back of the Cendyne package though - it lists the model number as
a: LTR-52246S.  You could look through a particular store's stock and check
out the model numbers before buying.

Someone posted a notice on the Dealmac Forums yesterday that the drive he
bought from Officemax online was also a Lite-On model.

Luck of the draw I guess...
