While I dont have that exact Pioneer DVD drive I do have one of their old slot-loads and love it! I'm thinking of picking up another and just might order that one!

this is not pioneer it's aopen, or are they the same?

Sorry I dont know what happened but I was replying to a thread asking about the slot load Pioneer DVD player...

I have no idea about the Aopen ones

I was recommended to get the Pioneer or the Toshiba. I ended up gettign the Toshiba only becasue I had had one before and CloneCD says it is the optimal for cd copying. The Pioneer is just as good (may even be better). I have not heard much about the AOpen.
