Same argument I presented a long while back. The logic seems to go 
over their heads. Just like using top vs bottom posting. These lists 
were some of the few still insisting that bottom posting was the 
required norm in the face of obvious evidence to the contrary. Facts 
be damned!

Will a 1.25 DP work in a machine currently using a 1.0 SP?

  And how do you measure the amperage of a battery?

If you have a DVM with a milli-amp capability that is greater than 
that which you expect is being drawn from the battery, you might try 
hooking it up in series with the battery circuit. Put a jumper across 
the meter leads before you connect it to the battery. This will 
protect it from any potential surge which might be greater than the 
DVM can tolerate. Remove the jumper once the rest of the circuit is 
established. Might work...not responsible for damage...blah, blah,

Give a phony name and street address. If someone expresses interest, 
you can straighten it out with them at that time. Half the sellers 
are doing it this way.

The reason the stupid rule came into being was so that persons could 
decide if the seller and buyer were geographically near. A ZIP code 
was all that was ever necessary but administrative pride got in the 
way of good sense.

Any of the later Pioneer drives is good: DVR-109 (which you already

Under OS X (which you say you don't run) all of the above can be

you may have in the future, they will be seen as Apple 
Supplied/Supported.

The first SuperDrives were DVR-104s, and those were not DL. Also, 
those were - only, and couldn't write, much less read +.

The 109s and later will read and write just about everything, 
certainly including + and -, and SL and DL, and some can read and 
write DVD-RAM, but some can only read DVD-RAM.

Peter, where does the DVR-112D stand in this regard for a MDD DP 1.25? .

  Starting to feel like we're feeding a troll here . .

  Trolls are insulting people who insist there view is right.
  They call people names and rant without reasoning.


 From Wikipedia:

An Internet troll, or simply troll in Internet slang, is someone who 
posts controversial and irrelevant or off-topic messages in an online 
community, such as an online discussion forum or chat room, with the 
intention of provoking other users into an emotional response or to 
generally disrupt normal on-topic discussion.
