Hi all,
I just purchased this drive. I have an XP machine and the wife has an Imac running lastest version of OS X. I am just curios if anyone has used this drive on a mac. I will be using a fire connection to an ADS drive kit. I am currentl using this setup with a Pioneer A04 drive, but will be switching drives. Any info will be greatly appreciated.

do a search for sony & dvd+r/rw + dvd-r/rw drives
there's a couple of reader reports about the DRU500 burning from the mac. I'd be curious to know if you're able to burn DVD+R discs that can be read on a mac. My powerbook's combo drive refuses to read a dvd+r disc burnt by the DRU500 on a pc, but DVD-Rs read fine.
