Pioneer DVR-105 Working With iDVD 2.0 Inside 500 MHz Blue & White G3 But Not With 2.1

B&W G3 with 10.2.3 Pioneer DVR-105 as Master with 1999 DVD-RAM as Slave on the same optical bus.



I bought a pair of Tin Snips and hacked both into the B&W after cutting and bending a lot of metal. Both drives working great. Except 105 can't read DVD-RAM written single sided media although my Cube's DVD-ROM player reads those same DVD-RAMs just fine. Anyway . . .



iDVD 2.0 works just fine. Ran 2.1 updater and then 2.1 at launch says "iDVD could not be opened because the required hardware could not be found". Anybody know the work around or does 2.1 require G4 or what?



Someone mentioned about having to reinstall the system but I never ran iDVD before on this system. The biggest addition to 2.1 seems to have been the ability to burn a hybrid disk that will have a DVD-rom section with data for computer use instead of just a staright video disc. It also said scripting and burning improvements.





Do I have to take the DVD-ROM off this bus or what? Is it about the G3 vs. a G4 or what?



Thanks in advance.
