Hmmm, the OPC issue (or PIF spikes) is more firmware related IMO as Pioneer 111 is also NEC chipset based, Plextor 755/760 suffers from this aswell, though it is Sanyo chipset.

I think it could be caused also by bad hardware calibration.

Is it that any zone speed drive will throw spikes during write, or are some implementations sloppier than others?

I think this variant is closer to the truth.

However, Pioneer here can be "excused", I globe: they just gave up DVD standard and now concentrate on BlueRay
. That's commerce. And politics.
