well, my junk external QPS external firewire CDRW drive finally died, after a year of more of acting up... Im glad It broke actually. it was 5 yrs old, and had a mind of its own... sometimes worked, sometimes not. burning cd's was something I dreaded. (valuable lesson learned, buy computer gear from a good company thats been around a long time. QPS was new and 5 yrs after the purchase, dont even mention the drive on their site. nor do they sell them anymore. )>

Just got my pioneer 111D from other world computing.... best $42.99 i've spent. installation was easy, their install movie was a big help. don't get any easier than this.

I installed on my G4 sawtooth... Im so happy.. I can burn cd's again..

no more wondering whether it will work today or not.

I highly recommend this drive.... I see no faults with it.

NOTE: the old QPS quefire drive that went bad after 5 yrs was a QPS quefire... firewire drive.. exernal, but upon breaking the case open, the drive was made by teac.

I would avoid teac in the future. for what its worth. IMHO.
