[G4] Pioneer 111D

[bigthor at webzone.net]

Hi, Steve.

My Pioneer 110D SuperDrive (purchased Sept. 2005) just went out (I also 
used PatchBurn3.1.3en to flash the drive).  Spits out any disc I put 
in.  Found out it had gone bad by trying to boot off of my DiskWarrior 
disc.  I had been burning DVDs using Toast 7.0.2 until 2 days ago.

My Mac is a 2001 G4 QuickSilver 733, 640 MB ram, OS 1.3.9.  Two 
external Firewire drives, LaCie and Fantom.

I am supposing that the Pioneer 111D is a later model than the 110D?  I 
always like to get the latest model, and am encouraged that you told 
Davis the 111D should work fine.

Your friend,
Don in D.C.
