Relabeled Pioneer DVR 106 drives

Does anyone know what companies use the Pioneer DVR 106 (A06) and label them as their own? I do know of one, (Cendyne)...Anyone else?
There are a couple of drives I'm considering at Office Depot....Pacific Digital, Liteon, Verbatim, I/0 Magic. Would any of these DVD burning drives work in my G4 700 QuickSilver?

Thanks,

cendyne is dead. I guess they gave out too many rebates :)

Check the drive database at http://forums.xlr8yourmac.com/drivedb/search.drivedb.lasso, many people will post if the drive was OEM/retail/etc. Your best bet is probably going to OtherWorldComputing (http://www.macsales.com) they have the DVR-106 for $147, you're not going to find a price much better without sending in a ton of rebates and hoping they get honored (unlike alot of the cendyne rebates ended up being not honored as they went bankrupt).

Sometimes all of the mentions of how cheap the DVR-106 has gotten makes me regret having spent $200+ on my DVR-105 which I don't use that much (I really thought I'd have more time to make home movies of the baby, instead, I have a pile of MiniDV tapes piling up). I should check to see which model was stuck into my wifes new iMac one of these days....

Thanks for the info guys. The reason why I'm looking at Office Depot is because I have a $200 gift card, and was wondering if any of the drives I mentioned in my initial post would work.
