Yamaha To Withdraw From CD-R/RW Business

Posted by timothy on from the when-giants-reconsider dept.

An anonymous reader writes "What's going on. When I first heard this I thought it was a bad joke. They make great burners! 'Tokyo, February 5, 2003 - Yamaha Corp. decided at a board meeting to cease sales of CD-R/RWs for personal computers and to withdraw completely from the business by the end of March 2003.'" Does any other company make burners that can burn an image on the CD?

    Well i can understand them dropping out of the market .. can you imagine the development costs for burning on the wrong side of the CD?

    I've never had anything but problems with Yamaha burners I've encountered.
