Installed it on my Sawtooth G4 and I updated the firmware. It was a Pioneer DVR-110D but with the last firmware.. it's now a Pioneer DVR-110 which reads and writes just about anything including DVD-Ram disks. It shows up in the Apple Profiler with the ability to write Dual Layer disks.. but it doesn't show up that way in disk utility. Will I still be able to use Disk utility to burn a Dual Layer Image to a Dual Layer Disk???? Does anyone know how I would do this, or if I can do this natively????

Yeah.. this is why I haven't tried it yet.. I was just wondering if anyone else has an "Apple Official" dual layer drive can tell me if Disk Utility show's it's dual layer capacity?
