[G4] Reading DV+R discs on Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-105

[nagable at comcast.net]

I'm using a Pioneer DVR-106.  OS 10.4 sees it as a "Superdrive," i.e., DVD-R,+R, -RW and +RW.  I had to use Patchburn to install it on Jaguar, and Jaguar only saw it as DVD-R.  Tiger sees it all.

The latest and greatest seems to be the DVR-111.  If I needed it, I would buy it.
