Trogdor!!
So… for the record: If you’re having trouble burning CDs (and probably DVDs too) using your brand new Pioneer DVR-110D optical drive (aka “Superdrive”), and you’re using Mac OS X 10.3.9, try upgrading to Mac OS X 10.4.0. It’ll probably work with the latest and greatest (10.4.4 as of this writing), but I wanted to make sure everyone know it only took 10.4.0 to get there. That’s it 🙂
Now get out there and burninate.

Drive error
Well.. yesterday I got my new optical drive installed. Everything was going swimmingly — that is, I could read from burnt DVDs — until today at lunch, when I put in a CD-R. I was greeted with an ejected CD-R, and this message:
Strange. First, I hit OWC‘s tech support page. They listed several firmware updates, but none for my particular drive (the Pioneer DVR-110D). So I hit Pioneer’s site — there were firmware upgrades for this drive, but they were all Windows-only, and I don’t have a Windows box available to me right now. So, I poked around the web a bit, and saw one tip that said this particular error, about the drive not being supported, was a bug in Mac OS X 10.4.1. Well, I’m running 10.3.9, so it might have existed before that?
Another tip said that it was solvable by zapping the PRAM (though others said zapping the PRAM did nothing). I tried, to no avail, unfortunately. So now I’m going to upgrade my machine to Tiger (Mac OS X 10.4.) Welcome to the 90s eh? 🙂 I have yet to contact OWC about it, but should this keep up I will be.
