My Wallstreet DVDROM module recognizes DVD+R but not DVD-R.
Tiger probably needs more than 192MB. 384MB is OK, 512 better, but some people have run into heat dissipation problems as larger RAM creates more work for the CPU. Some believe that you must install the OS in the first partition of the drive, which must have a formatted capacity less than 8GB. Not so! Using XPF, you can designate your small initial partition as a 'Helper', and install the OS into any size and location that you wish. I currently have two Wallstreets, both running Tiger from 20GB partitions. hth..
