Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-109 seen but not as a burner

[nothingtoseehere]

I just noticed that my Pioneer DVR-109 (same as superdrive) isn't seen as a burner by my OS X install. It worked fine wiht my old MB with Tubgirl.

 

I am using JaS 10.4.8, upgraded to 10.4.9 with 8.9.1 kernel. My motherboard is an Intel 975XBX2. The Pioneer drive shows up under ATA in the system profiler as

 

PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-109:

 

Model: PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-109

Revision: 1.58

Detachable Drive: No

Protocol: ATAPI

Unit Number: 1

Socket Type: Internal

Low Power Polling: No

 

but there is no mention of burning at all. Under Disc Burning it says no burning device was found. Any ideas?

 

It started working again. Apparently VMware killed it for a while.
