I have a Pioneer DVR-105 that I put in a nameless firewire box I got from OWC. It works with my G4-powerbook, cube, and works on the Beige G3 using Toast. I don't know what you want to burn, but if you intend to do CDs, your $50 Lite-On Cd burner is going to be a whole lot faster than your DV

I know the 65k limit was lifted. That was not the point of including the link. The point was how allocation blocks are set. Alsoft's Ask Al had this information, which would tend to indicate that partitioning a large drive reduces the wasted space--a 1k file will use one allocation block, if tha
