I recently bought a DVD+R/RW drive from ebay. P/n's below.
NEC P/N ND-5100A
DELL P/N 0U1020

While looking on the net for firmware updates, I found out that it is only the Dell firmware on it that prevents it from recording onto DVD-R/W media.

I've since flashed the drive (in DOS using a USB key) and am now happily recording onto DVD+-R/RW

Beware though, some people have corrupted their drives doing this, usually by not following instructions.

Here is a thread all about it.
