[G4] Dual Layer DVD Unit=> Pioneer DVR-109 US$47

[Kunga]

Remember if you have a Pioneer 117 (Apple's number) or 108 the  
firmware can be flashed to become a dual layer 109. There is no  
physical difference between these three model numbers. Only firmware.  
And we have the solution for that upgrade documented at <http://
