I thought I'd ask Pioneer why they choose to not support Mac users of their AV drives. I guess it never occurred to me that the answer would be so obvious:

Thank you for contacting Pioneer Electronics, Inc.
Our retail drives are not intended for use in an Apple computer. Although thousands of people may buy the drive for use in an Apple, this is not what it is intended for. This is the reason why no Apple
based firmware is available.

Now my question is twofold. Why does Apple choose a supplier of their OEM stuff that hold Mac users in such low regard? Flip-side of this question is this: Is Pioneer's position it's own, or is this the position Apple demands Pioneer take? Next question is this: Where is the AV drive manufacturer who is willing, nay, anxious, to step into this service void in the market?

Enquiring minds...run Macintoshes.
