I burned a DVD+R for a friend with a 12" ALPB and it wasn't

reburning the DVD+R to a DVD-R that he supplied, we'll see of that
works? Another friend with an older TiPB couldn't recognize any of
four different brands of blank CD-R's I owned, so evidently these
PB's are either broken or very finicky. With desktop drives &
firewire external drives there are often firmware updates to add
support for more or newer media types. Perhaps these PB drives
could be "upgraded" using some non-Apple firmware and then patched
with PatchBurn to reestablish Apple burn support? Big risk and
hassle I'd think, but so is the unreadable CD or DVD.
What version of the aluminum PB? I thought the Apple specs said the
latest (1.5GHz) models would do both "plus R" and "minus R" ( with
the superdrive of course).

If anyone is searching for the Al PB info, please take a look at the
media compatibility with the Pismo DVD reader expansion module. Just
popped a DVD-R into it and while the disk mounted on the desktop, the
DVD player gave me a "media not supported" message. Spat it out,
stuffed it back in, and playback worked. Bit of a fright as I have
just started to transfer an extensive VHS collection to DVD on my new
VHS to DVD burner. Why complain if it works? Odd that an
introduction/reject/reacquaint cycle seemed to do the trick.
