I have no idea how to find that out -- I've looked online for the model # and I 
haven't seen that info.

Hmm.  In my config, the *only* option I have is "current" -- no speed choices 
drop down.   Can my PC, which is brand new, really come with the last slow, 
non-adjustable speed CD/ROM drive?   Something seems amiss.    It knows my 
model -- it found that out by itself but perhaps this and the accurate rip setting 
are the result of its not having my drive in its database so it doesn't know any of 
the right values?

I think this is the one I have

https://www.amazon.com/Laptop-DVD-RW-Burner-Compatible-M-DISC/dp/B01MXIAP8T

but it says nothing about the speed of it

Aha -- good old amazon   I'm pretty sure this is it:

https://www.amazon.com/Recorder-HL-DT-ST-GU90N-Internal-Tray-Loading/dp/B07PKC8JB8

and its description says the sort of thing I would've expected:

Read Speed: DVD-ROM/DL: 8X CD-R:24X CD-RW: 24X CD-ROM: 24X 

Why won't EAC let me tell it "24X"?  and is there some way to find out the read 
offset value?

Thanks!!  /bernie\
