[G4] 4x DVD writing

[sr ferenczy]

My G5 came with a pioneer 106. haven't had a single problem with toast 
and i have burned probably 150-200 dvds so far.....  ?

where on xlr8yourmac.com does it mention the incompatibility with 
toast? drive database doesnt seem to mention anything. though i do 
remember reading something about toast not supporting the drives cache 
on some drives.... though burning still works fine-you just need to 
make sure your system supports the throughput for burning (1x dvd is 
1.5 MB/s)
