Bummer! I was planning on picking up the PX-W1210TS/SW. I wonder if this will start to drive up the price?

Would be a very bad move on their part if they do.
BURNProof or not, nothing beats going from a SCSI Reader to a SCSI Writer, it just never fails.
Mirai & Yamaha will however continue to feed the needs of us SCSI owners.It cost one penny to cross, or one hundred gold pieces if you had a billygoat.

I sent an email to Plextor HQ about this and got an almost immediate response:
---------------------------------------------
Hi Frank,
In response to your inquiry, I honestly have no idea how these rumors get started, but let me say categorically that what you heard from whom and when is completely without justification. Plextor remains as committed to its SCSI product offerings as much as it is to E-IDE (ATAPI). Even though the market potential for SCSI devices is less than ten (10%) percent of the overall market, it still is a niche that Plextor can support quite comfortably. Like yourself, there are hundreds of thousands of other Plextor customers that share your viewpoint and we are very sensitive to meeting the future needs of this large installed base.
Thank you for your interest in Plextor and its products.
Sincerely,
Magdalena Wong
Marketing Communications Specialist
