I spotted them here... don't know if they're "cheap", but they're in stock...

I presume you're aware of the problem with earlier Pioneer DVD burners?

Think that inquirer is a load of tripe m8..
4x speed discs were only released last week to coincide with the release on the ao5.
Also the point of the ao3 and ao4 the patch is relatively easy to install.. ive never used it for the fact that ive never really done a dvdrw at 2x
1 euro for a dvdr- pfft so i say why bother !


I have a new patch that burns all media at 2x on my pioneer ao3
Only tried the datasafe, datawrite, and choice blues !!!

Also nice site there as well !! some nice info

www.121cdr.co.uk also have them

Delivery is flat rate £16 Stg
They were pretty good to deal with
I put together a big order with some friends. We ended up paying tiny delivery per head.

I'm not a mad fan of the Inquirer myself, but it was the first link I came up with after a quick google ;-)

I agree that the A03 and A04 firmware patches are easy to install, but

1. A company with a reputation like Pioneer's should never let this sort of thing happen.
2. It's only easy to flash the firmware if you're using an IBM-compatible PC. Anything else, and it's trouble...

OcUK are pretty good, actually; their shipping can be a little on the dear side for heavy/bulky orders, but they tend to sell the better stuff (or at least they did...) and the prices are usually within reason. Plus they've got a good reputation on warranties, I understand... not that I've needed to use it, as everything I've bought from them (two complete system's worth) has worked flawlessly.

Sorry, maybe I'm showing my age. An "IBM-compatible" PC means (or perhaps meant) a PC based on the original 4.077Mhz 8088-powered IBM PC (as IBM "invented" the PC, so to speak) or it's descendants; it's a handy catch-all phrase that covers all computers that run CPUs based on this "x86" architecture (so-named because until it was decided that you couldn't copyright a number) many processors were known by their numbers; the relevant numbers here are the 8086,(80)286,(80)386,(80)486 and so on (the 80586 became the "Pentium" as this was due to be released at the time of the US court ruling I've just mentioned), as well as the standard (and not-so-standard) interconnect technologies introduced (either by IBM or by industry thinktanks) over the years; MCA, (E)ISA, VL Bus, PCI, AGP and so on.

Perhaps the easiest way to describe it, after all that, is to think of them as anything that can run some flavour of either DOS or Windows natively; that rules out Macs, Amigas, most Unix workstations, etc.

Hope that helps,
