I’m guessing the seller is still not well as it doesn’t look as though he is selling again as we are now in the first week of September.
Any Uk solutions on buying a drive that will just work out of the box, ie already flashed etc ?
Asmcom will be back soon. Give it another couple of weeks.

Hayley, I sent an e-mail in anticipation of Asmcom returning late August/early Sept as per the front page, do you intend to reply to previously sent message when things return to "normal"? Thanks in advance.
We anticipate resuming business at the end of September 2024. We look forward to launching our new website. Sorry for the long wait.
Thank you for your understanding and support.

Wishing Asmcom to a full recovery.
I have a keen interest in purchasing two possibly three of your drives (One Pioneer and any low spec LG or Vertibum). As I'm planning to rip several hundred DVD'S and CD's and to get into ripping/playing Blu-rays on my Macbook via HDD or a Zidoo media player because no Tvs we have display 4k.

Sorry to hear about Asmcom. Wishes a speedy and full recovery.
I'm interested in buying item 9 (BDR-X13E-S) if this is still available:

FWIW the Verbatim drives are also effectively Pioneers. Personally speaking, I do not use my Verbatim, preferring instead an official Pioneer drive and a low-spec LG. (Both of which I purchased from Asmcom, btw

.)

Thanks for the recommendation. It’s just personally it would be easier for my family members and I to have one each to divide up the several hundred DVD’s and the dozen or so Blu-Rays onto separate HDD to be combined into a large drive to either be played on our Mac’s via vlc or a media player such as a Zidoo but that’s a project for another time.

Sure, except that I have discovered that you cannot use a Verbatim 43888 to discover the Volume ID of a UHD BluRay

. This makes Verbatims "less than useful" for anyone who would also like to discover their own UHD keys.

Hi Tracey,
Really looking forward to your return and a new website. I’ll save the pennies up for a new drive and the associated programs. Then I can finally start ripping my collection!
Thanks again.

Hi there!
Best wishes to Asmcom! God bless
Need to buy a new BD burner after my BDR-208 left me (sigh!)
I now know about firmware or other issue but I read here that pioneer burner could have any problem to read UHD disc... so I need a suggestion and I need to know if you can suggest a burner to substitute my 208!
I tought about BDR-S13E(U or J)-X model...with the correct firmware! ...at a right price!

....do you suggest other models?
A couple of question:
- do you have any?
- do you ship in Italy?
- what about custom tax?
- what about price?
Best regards and thanks for your patience
God bless you
Alberto

When you open up shop I’ll be willing to purchase any Pioneer you have in stock that has the pre 2022 firmware so I can rip UHD discs and possibly a LG drive if available or a lower spec Pioneer which ever has the best performance to value ratio.

Thanks for the update!
I’m hopeful there is enough stock for everyone, atm I’m planning to use them as a player until I have the time to rip them after purchasing the Zidoo Z30 pro to put all the ripped movies on.
