Did you try burning in Toast without the patch? My Matshita 330 that I used for replacement in my Pismo went flawlessly and burning with Toast was supported as soon as I put it in the expansion bay to replace my old drive.
I replaced my Superdrive (DVR-104) in my desktop with a Pioneer DVR-108 ($85) and the switch went perfectly and burning both DVD's and CD's are three times as fast as with the original drive. I have not tried burning with anything other than Toast 5 and 6 though, as that is all that I use.
