WHERE CAN I BUY A 5.2GB DVD-RAM TYPE 1 CARTRIDGE

I have spent hours looking on the net. Do they make them anymore?
My DVD-RAM drive is a Matshita PD-2 LF-D110. Revision A110.
Can I use a 2.6GB Type 1 Cartridge in this drive?

If I upgrade to Tiger will I be able to use my DVD-RAM drive?

Power Mac G4 AGP Graphics Mac OS X (10.3.9) DVD RAM Matshita PD-2 D110

I know this does not directly answer you question, but you may want to consider getting a new DVD-/+R burner; they are less than $40 online (DVR-110D, ND-3550A, try newegg.com as one resource).

It may be less frustrating than trying to use your old DVD-RAM drive.

If you really want to use DVD-RAM, the DVR-110D firmware can be altered to support DVD-RAM (the non-US versions are marketed as such), or the LG GSA-4163B is also a DVD-RAM capable drive out-of -the-box.

In any OS prior to Tiger, you will need to download & run PatchBurn for iApp/Finder burn support.
