Snagged a Pioneer DVR-S501 drive for $2.00. Was worth $5400.00US new. Wanted one for a while.

grats!

Does it require authoring-mode discs?

It will burn authoring mode discs and may burn some general types. Have to do some testing.

That's very exciting. Is there any software out there to burn DVDs using a 68k Mac with it? Toast DVD 3 requires PowerPC... :-(

Can you still get authoring mode DVDs, if so how much?

Cool score. I'm vaguely looking for a SCSI DVD-RAM drive, but the ones I can find on ebay are too pricey and overseas.
