Well, I've got a "Pioneer DVD-ROM ATAPIModel DVD-105S 012, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM
drive", and it was set to region code 1, which is strange since Hungary is
part of area of region code 2. However I was brave enough to simply fresh
the firmware of my drive with an unkown stuff found by google :) Now there
is NO region controll stuff in my drive :)
