[G4] Pioneer 106 DVD ?

[Wade Perry]

John,

Just purchased a Pioneer 106D from XtremeGear. This is the dual format
DVD-R,RW/DVD+R,RW. Installed on  a G4 533 DA, running 10.2.8, 1.2G of Ram.
System recognized on start up. Burns in iDVD,iTunes,and Toast 6. No
additional drivers or updates needed. This is an brand new OEM drive, so no
pretty Mfg box, but install instructions and PC software. As of this
morning, still $110.00 USD, plus shipping. Take a look.
