MDD lost his bong after DVD-writer exchange
Hi all, I just pulled the original BenQ CD-Writer in my MDD because of a tray problem and replaced it with the trusty Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-108 from my beige MT. Now there is no more bong at startup. I liked the bong because it is the same as that of my good ole Quadra 840av ... It doesn't matter if I start Panther, Tiger or OS9, no bong ever. I checked the Sound Panel and Startup Sound pane which I use to turn down the bong. Both are OK and I can hear the Alerts through the internal speakers. Any ideas anyone? TIA. Another thing: The older Pioneer DVR-108 shows firmware revision 1.18 whereas the newer DVR-116D shows 1.09. AFAIK rev. 1.09 is the latest region-free firmware, isn't it?

I installed patchburn for panther just to be safe. Have your permanent marker ready! :) 10.4 should support it fully too, but you may want to install patchburn just in case or if you get a coaster or an error.

Re: DVD Writer
Paula, Sorry. No. You don't need toast, but I'd get it anyway. It's a lot zippier than disk utility and more options. -Way, way funner than disk utility and more projects you can do with it. It copies CDs and DVDs like a professional copier just by easy selection and superb documentation in the help menu. toast lite? Go for toast with Jam, depending on what ver of OS X you are using . Do some googling on it and ebaying. Great value!
