So I thought my DVD drives were dying, I went to J&R today to replace them.
I picked up two Pioneer 1910LS's for 48 bucks each.
I've installed them both, however they don't seem to work.
At one point I could use the eject menu in the system to open them, but they did not read DVDs. That is now a thing of the past since I can't even get them to open from within OS X. (I can get them to open by pressing the eject button on the physical drive w/ my MacPro open so at least I'm not stuck trying to pry one open to get a dvd back.
My question is this- is there a way to make this model work?
I'm running a first gen Mac Pro 3ghz. the drive in question is the Pioneer 1910LS which I have discovered is really a rebadged assus drive so they could get lightscribe.
