The DVR-105 (or A05) is just as good, reportedly is recognized even more completely by the Apple software (when installed internally in the computer; still not as an external FW), and should be cheaper. Only performance difference that I know of is that the *05 does not do DVD +R, it only only does DVD -R. But, -R is more widely recognized by players than the +R, so you may never need the +R. --Steve At 7:31 PM -0500 11/18/03, S.
