A03 is now replaced by the A04
Although the 104 doesn't write DVD-R any faster than the previous model (the Pioneer 103), Pioneer says there have been several improvements
1) Drive length has been shortened by 1cm
2) Both horizontal + vertical mounting is possible
3) Increased read speed for DVD-Rom - was 4X, now 6X
4) Digital Audio connector removed - Analog only
5) Front bezel / LED indicator changed
6) Buffer Underrun Free for CD-R/CD-RW
7) Lower Fan Noise - sleeve bearing instead of ball bearing
8) Shorten format time for DVD-RW format (only 2minutes)
9) Support at 4x for High Speed CDRW discs.

It's got to be a HP, they are great 
I had a couple of them. Got a Plexor and have done in excess of 2,000 disks with it and it's still going strong (although double speed) Or a Lite On LTR **** I got one of these as well (budget one) and you can write at 24 speed amd the surprise is, you can read it again after
I always test the maximum speed, by writing a music CD then testing in the Scooby while driving, if it work then "jobs a good un!!"

While on the topic of PS2/PC game back-up copies how do you do this?I've got a fairly new LG burner and use Nero.I've done a copy of a PS2 cd-rom and the PS2 says "insert playstation or playstation2 format disk".I did a copy of a PC game and it installed but wouldn't play.Does it depend on the game or is it the burning software?Any help appreciated.

PS.These are back-up copies of course!

PeterStone,
On a playstation disk there are errors (for want of a better word) written at the beginning that the CD writer can't copy as it see's them as errors. I think it's part of the PS O/S.
Basically the PS will need to be chipped, so the errors (part of the O/S) are loaded on bootup. It's a simple PIC chip and is so easy to fit
Hope this helps, Cheers Phill C
PS I backup all my PS games and let the kids trash the copies

Pioneer A03 DVD Writer is what you want.(Is a DVD-R format writer)Ideal for making "backups" of PS2 games.Also is an 8x cd writer into the bargain!
Nick
P.S: Get hold of Primo DVD software as this is best for the PS2 backups.Not that I'd know or anything!!!
