Re: Sony CRX830E upgrade for Pismo

[Kathryn Odell]

Thanks for your helpful information! --Kate
I'm considering getting the Sony CRX830E CDR-DVD for my Pismo 
expansion
bay. <snip>

Absolutely no difference if it's the bare drive only. Check to see if 
the
Mac dealers happen to sell it already installed in the expansion bay 
unit
(doubtful).

I've used this same drive in a Pismo and it works great. I hacked the
Authoring Support plugin for OS 9, which you can download from the
xlr8yourmac web site. With it, the drive is recognized in 9 by Disk 
Burn and
iTunes. In X you can use Patchburn 3 (free dowload) to do the same 
thing.

Highly recommended at $70, especially if you have a modified expansion 
bay
unit; though it'll work okay even without that.

Good luck.
Chris
