I keep seeing you say this, and I keep pointing out it's factually incorrect.  Stop intentionally spreading FUD and misinformation.

no it's true the only one's who made combo drives still had to use the Toshiba's chipset because of the IHD software, just because the player has a name stamped on it does not mean they created the optical drive in that player..if you would look in there Inside the player it will be a Toshiba optical drive!, so yes indeed it is true.

even in your list of drives Toshiba was the main manuf. because, well it was Toshiba's to start with, though other's such as Sony and Nec could have indeed made them HD DVD drives also, they also could make Blu-Ray drive which they did.

The Point being that At the Time Toshiba was the only place to get the HD DVD optical drives for your product. buy OEM.

Put up or shut up.  Cite any reputable source that says Toshiba was the lone manufacturer for HD-DVD drives.

Er, did you read the article you're sourcing?  It talks about NEC's HD-DVD OEMs, lol.  The article even mentions Sanyo as another HD-DVD manufacturer.
