[QUOTE="trpnmonkey41, post: 113633, member: 279"] Got this from another site G5's OEM Sony DW-U21A flashed to Liteon SOHW-1653S (from a drive db report) " I bought my Powermac G5 dual 2.5ghz in March 2005. It had a SONY DVD RW DW-U21A DVD+/-RW burner. I looked around the internet and found that it was a (actually) Lite-On SOHW-1653S dual layer optical drive. Using the PC based flashes, I flashed the drive using the CS09 firmware and used Patchburn 3 to allow 10.3.8 to recognise the drive in itunes, idvd and finder. You need Toast 6 to use the dual layer writing. Also the speed of the dvd writing was increased to 12 times. No problems with it. everything works! also region unlocked it with the LtnRPC PC program. cheers mike " [/QUOTE]
