I don't believe this is an exhaustive list, Plextor had a lot of good models back in the day. You'll want to look at older, true Plextor models, all SCSI or ATAPI. Once SATA rolled around they'd started rebadging drives from other manufacturers that do not have the same capabilities (or quality)
Depending on the model you're looking at maybe $50-$150 on eBay, which is pricy for a used old CD-ROM drive but not a lot of money for someone who really needs one. The Premium/Premium2 models in particular are sought after by audio professionals and (used to) get quite pricy.
$50 isn't that pricey. Similar to the cost of a new BD-ROM drive. I was imagining a lot more from TFA. What's a good way to hook up an ATAPI drive to a modern computer? I'm curious if mine still works.
