High-Speed Burning Could Harm Pioneer Combo Drives

Posted by timothy on from the but-isn't-that-the-point-of-high-speed dept.

daffydory writes "Both New Scientist and The Register have articles about the Pioneer DVD writers (SuperDrives to us Apple users)." According to these articles, the drives "will bascially implode themselves with the new highspeed media that's coming out. Lovely. There's supposed to be a firmware patch to fix it, but it may be 'problematic' for users to install."

    Because every self-respecting user of Debian GNU/Linux, the most self-respecting distro of Linux, the most self-respecting OS.

    Only morons that use a different OS than the one that I use on my server would have trouble realizing that dvd burners are used in unix through scsi emulation.

    ERROR: /dev/scd0 is on fire would be more correct.
