I checked few newsgroups, and here is what I found.
Apple came out with two DVD-Ram drives. this one is the first generation one, 2.6GB(single sided) or 5.2GB (DS), works like a bigggg floppy disk, cant use this DVD-RAM disk on any other dvd drives.
The new Second Generation DVD-Ram Drivers supposedly writes in 2x speed. 4.xGB(SD) and 9.x GB(DS), and DVD-Ram disk cartridge can be opened so that u can use this disk on other dvd drives (not sure what this cartrige thingie is all about , sounds like a huge zip disk to me )
So if anyone wants to use a slow huge backup device, this Dvd-Ram drive is good. For burning dvds or cdrw u need some other drive.
Didnt check up if this works on PCs
