I've got a B&W G3 400 that was given to me with a non-factory DVD-ROM drive (LG DRD 8160B). This drive works fine for reading DVDs but is not bootable (confirmed via a search on xlr8yourmac). I'd like to try Tiger on this machine and hence am looking for recommendations for a replacement drive that would boot the Tiger DVD. Thanks in advance!
The Pioneer DVR-108 can be found for cheap, sometimes as low as $55, and its a DVD+/-RW (i.e., SuperDrive), so you'll be all set. Tiger supports this drive natively, so no driver hacks are required. And the drive is bootable.
Thanks for the recommendation, will start searching for the best deal. I was thinking about Pioneer, I had a 106 that I put in a G4 a while back and it worked great.
