Yes, that much I know. I mean they should find a way to dump correctly using other drives. For example by oversampling the disc a couple of times at the track intersections. Or by analyzing the firmware and finding other vendor-specific read commands in non-plextor drives.

IMHO their new redumper tool, and other, similar projects (like Aaru) are going in a good direction, trying to create reproducible dumps with other drives.

I have a feeling that the redump guys are not actively researching other options since they know the Plextors work (for now). I would love for someone to do some more research on other drives, that's all
