Good to see a fussy drive like the optiarc for TRT in the review

If you flash to 111L, does that enable DVDRAM burning or not?

EDIT: I have to say one thing though about the reviews, I find it a bit odd that in some reviews, if the drive does not burn above the supported write speed with good quality, it is put down as negative.

I think that's somewhat wrong to say there are issues with the 10x DL writing performance as the +R disc was written above it's supported speed. I think the same for any 18-20x writing done on 16x media. If you test drive a car that has a claimed max speed of 280, the tires are rated to withstand speeds of only 250, you take the car to 270 and the tires blow out, you can't really blame the car since the tires aren't specified to take more than 250.

But then again, pioneer should not have allowed that media to write @ 10x if it didn't do it with good quality
