Just a query for the list members. I have searched most other boards and info sites, now it's time to get the answers. I am looking at a DVD writer. Hardware configuration that it would be used in is: 533 DA, 10.2.6 , 1.2g of RAM. 1.) It seems the only internal DVD writer that is available/recommended is the Pioneer. Is this correct ? 2.) Plextor has just released (June 03) the PX-504A (IDE) and PX-504UF (Firewire/USB) that appears to be "flashable"(from the mfg.) to the Mac. Any one know anything about this drive ? 3.) Usage would be 60% for "data", and 40% "entertainment". With the number of DVD-R formats, is worth the investment at this point ? Looking forward to you comments. Thanks, Wade A. Perry
