Installing Pioneer-bdr205 on a Mac Pro
Hi,
Can’t find the answer to this question anywhere.
There seem to be two possible ways of hooking up this Blu-Ray burner if installed internally.
1. Getting a Serial ATA to IDE converter.
2. SATA cable hooked directly into the motherboard and a SATA-IDE power converter.Has anyone done this (or similar) installation?
Thanks! -

Alec how old is your Mac Pro? Does it not have a SATA interface for the optical drives?

I have the Mac Pro (2008) and OS X 10.5.8 and I did the directly SATA conection and power ide converter, but the OS X identify the Blu Ray drive (BDR-205) like a DVR-112D and it isn’t read a Blu Ray disc.
What I have to do?
Thanks!!! -
” and it isn’t read a Blu Ray disc.”
What type of disc are you trying to view?

in truth, the disck as recognize, the real problem is playback the disc. I’ve been searching on the web and I noticed that it cant happen on Mac OS X. Do you know some trick to playback Blu Ray on Mac?
thanks!!!!
