Hi Kid - I'm glad it's all coming together for you now.

I got my Pioneer A03 and it delivered a working DVD-R first time with PrimoDVD. That's brilliant.

Dal's answered your questionon the NEO. I'm a bit luckier than you because I've kept the old modchip.com boot chip in my PS2 and it boots DVD-Rs with a much simpler swap procedure than having to use GS2/AR2.

Anyway, keep us all posted.
