Walter Bowen Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 I am wondering if any Retrospect 6 users have tried one of the current generation Pioneer optical drives, specifically DVR-116D. I just bought one as a replacement for my internal superdrive on a Mac G5 running Leopard (10.5.6). Retrospect does not recognize it on my system. I've been able to manually configure it for CD+R (Imation and Sony), but all attempts to get it to configure for DVD+R (Verbatim and Maxell) and DVD+R DL (Verbatim) media fail. I have RDU 6.1.15.101 loaded and am using Retrospect 6.1.230. Model Name: Power Mac G5 Model Identifier: PowerMac7,2 Processor Name: PowerPC 970 (2.2) Processor Speed: 1.8 GHz Number Of CPUs: 1 L2 Cache (per CPU): 512 KB Memory: 4.5 GB Bus Speed: 900 MHz Boot ROM Version: 5.1.5f1 PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-116D: Firmware Revision: 1.06 Interconnect: ATAPI Burn Support: Yes (Vendor Supported Drive) Profile Path: /Library/DiscRecording/DeviceProfiles/PatchBurn-pioneerdvdrwdvr116d.drprofile Cache: 0 KB Reads DVD: Yes CD-Write: -R, -RW DVD-Write: -R, -RW Write Strategies: CD-TAO, CD-SAO, CD-Raw, DVD-DAO My guess is that I will have to wait for EMC to release another RDU or try to find another DVR-115DBK. I know those work because I have an external of that model. No problems with DL backups to that one using any of the more recent RDUs. Thanks.

tcherevkoff Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 i just updated our studio computer to this drive too and am having a problem - anyone have any info? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter Bowen Posted June 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 I guess we're out of luck this time. It appears that support attention for 6.x may have shifted completely over to 8.x with that version being in full release. If you can find a DVR-115D somewhere, that one IS supported by the latest RDU for 6.x. I found one on ebay. Walter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
