[G4] Pioneer DVD-RW

[Don]

I just replaced the Pioneer  DVR 103 internal drive in my G4 dual 800 
with a Pioneer DVR 106 (OWC $159). It seems to be working just fine and 
is recognized by both Toast and iDVD. I also replaced an old QUE 
firewire cd burner with a Lite On "internal" 52x burner by simply 
removing the old burner from the external firewire case, connecting the 
new one, and reclosing the case. The new burner was recognized 
immediately by Toast. Piece-o-cake and I now have an internal 4x DVD 
burner and an external firewire 52x cd burner!
