I don't see my 708A on here. Is it supported? Surely?

Sorry for my ignorance here, but this is the first I've heard of specific drives being compatible/incompatible with Vista... I know they're being weird about RPC1 drives, but why would a firmware update be needed for a standard 716 to be Vista-compatible?

Sounds weird, but it's true. I once installed Vista on a machine with an old Lite-On 8x burner and the drive was not useable; it had a yellow exclamation mark in Device Manager.

Notice that 'compatible with Vista' means it is compatible with Vistas CD/DVD burning engine. That test for compatibility therefore included:

< Verification contents >
# Using Vista standard entry function, data entry
UDF Format (the format/data elimination/the clear disk from Explore)
The data entry with UDF (data entry/the disk it removes,/postscript)
# The videodisc compilation from of Media Player
# The music CD compilation from of Media Player
# The videodisc compilation from of DVD Maker
# The videodisc compilation from of Windows Media Center
# Windows System Backup

Even if the drive does not work with these functions of Vista it does not necessarily mean it will not work with other burning software running under Vista.

I have been using Vista Premium for a couple of weeks and the built burning tools are not that good any way.

I installed Nero 7.7 update for Vista and it works great but I have to admit I did not try my PX-716A since it is in another computer.

nero + 716a works in vista. actually just about any drive I've tried burned fine under Vista (which shouldn't come as a surprise)

I'm using Vista, but can't get my px-740a to be recognized using an external case. The same case w/ my Pioneer dvr-112d works fine.

Plextor Japan has published a guide on how to make the old Plextools Professional work under Windows Vista at least partially (CD/DVD-ROM Maker does not work? Hopefully someone with more knowledge in Japanese than me can clarify):
