I'm running 10.4.8 and have a 111D in my upper slot. In my lower slot  
I have a Lite-On LTR-52246S. Both work fine. I wonder if maybe your  
10.3.9 is not recognizing it as supported for burning? Verify this in  
the System Profiler app under Hardware/Disc Burning. Mine says "Yes 
(Unsupported)" under Burn Support.

Check xlr8yourmac.com for drive compatibility with your system. You  
may have to download "Patchburn" to make your drive compatible with  
the iLife apps.
