Any Pioneer "DVR" model should work (103/104/105/106/107 -- also known as
A03/A04/A05/A06/A07 models -- same drives, different bundles). It will
install fine where the stock CD/DVD drive is installed.  And it should work
fine with Toast (although which model Toast supports depends on the version
of Toast -- Toast 5 should support up to the 106).

The compatibility issue is with iDVD, and I believe it will work, although
Apple won't support this configuration with a 10 foot pole.  ;-)
