[G4] Pioneer 107 and Yikes

[Greg Manzie]

Hi Lavode

I have fitted an internal Pioneer 107 to my Yikes with no problems.

I can now watch DVD's and burn CD's although I have not experimented 
with speeds or burning DVD's.

The installation was a snack, though I did have to re-install the OS to 
enable DVD viewing.

Contact me again if you would like a test of some sort.

Regards from Perth, Australia (where it is 40 degrees Celsius with 
clear skies)
