  If there isn't a pioneer model then can anyone recommend something similar from NEC, Sony etc?
  
  
  
  thanx
  

  
  

  
  
  What's wrong with using Patchburn?
  
  
  
  My suggestion is to choose a Pioneer drive that you'd like, then do a google search to see if people are using it with OS X.

  Hi,
  
  
  
  I'm not really sure if patchburn is a problem or not. All I know is that I used to have a 107 and used patchburn and found it to be really unreliable. When I gave it to a mate he stuck it in his athlon and said it ran like a dream - no coasters! So I just assumed that there must be something wrong with patchburn? I put a 106D in my g4 instead because I found a site that had a mac based flash kit for it to work without using patch burn and this drive has been fantastic ever since.
  
  I've looked on a few web sites but am becoming more and more confused. A lot of the drive reviews say dual layer but then when I read on some of them say Dual layer reading but not recording. I was just wondering if anyone had a definitive list of the pioneers that definitely do dual layer recording under macosX
  
  
  
  thanx

  Try looking through the database http://forums.xlr8yourmac.com/drived....drivedb.lasso
  
  
  
  It's pretty useful, although it's not a straight list of DLs and not DLs it does have a good range of user experience.
