How my 708A behaves with different OPU's.

With SF-DB10 S3: Doesn't spin up any disc. Tries for a few seconds before giving a Amber 5 (Offset adjustment failed)

With SF-DB10 N5: Drive makes ticking noises when presented with a CD and wont spin up the disc. Eventually gives an Amber 2 (Auto adjustment failed). DVDs Reads and dumps fine.

With SF-DB10 T12: Drive doesn't recognize any discs. Wont try and spin up and behaves as if no disc was present.
