[G4] Well hereÕs a general question that could use a good answer... (SuperDrive)

[Jay Reiter]

rich - i have the same machine and had the same dilemma - the folks at 
OWc said the main difference between the units was that the 111 would 
burn dual layer DVD's - if I had no real need for that, they felt the 
110 was actually a superior unit though a model older. I went with their 
recommendation, installed the 110 and it has worked flawlessly since 
putting it in.
hope that helps.
