does anyone know the difference between the 4 following pioneer dvd models?
115
105S
116
106S
ive looked at the pioneer webby and cant seem to find any difference.
also... is it true that the 106S is ata66? i just got that one and im curious as to why it needs ata 66 when the max possible transfer is only 22mb/sec. anyone?
(looks like my spare 80 wire ata cable is gonna come in handy afterall)

The ones with an "S" are the slot-loading drives. The 116 and 106 are just the successors of the 115 and 105, respectively. Both of the 115 and 105 have digital out...the 106 also has digital out and the 116 does not.

neat. tah.
well i was at a swap meet and had the choice of basically the 105S and the 106S.
went for the latter.
there WERE some 116 around but i just looooove the slot loading drives :)

Yah, I just gave my tray loading 116 to my sister and plan on buying a 106s for myself.

ahhhh another convert i see.

way back ages ago i had a sturdy pioneer 32x on my p2-300.
a tad on the loud side, but ever so reliable.
im kinda cursing that i had to sell it with my old computer...
i reckon its performance ripping cd's was superior to this piece of crap sony52x.
this sony i might add is gonna go big time as soon as i find my screwdriver!
