Just a personal note that I’ve just bought myself a Pioneer DVR-110D DVD burner. Well, it’s not the best one on the market, but it’s currently offered as a bargain on nearby computer store, so I just took it. It was an OEM package, so no box, no cable, no driver, etc. Just the DVD drive and the small manual. Installation went smoothly and I can use it right away without having to install any driver. I haven’t tested the recording capability, but at least it managed to read several DVD discs that can’t be read by my old Sony’s DVD drive. So I’m happy, for now.
