Hi,
I'm looking for a new DVD burner for my Mac G4.
My old LaCie d2 DVD+/-RW has some serious problem with its power
supply, two in a row got broken in a few years. Since it seems to be

AT THE VERY LEAST GET OS10.4.8 …. It proved for me to be a most stable OS and
would work with a lot of the later software. I still have a 2000 Quicksilver
