Upgraded drive to internal Pioneer DVD-RW drive DVR-K16 in my iBook 900MHz.
OS X 10.3.9 reports the drive as "Disc Burning: Not Supported".
This is a relatively new 2-layer DVD+/-R/RW+2L - so new there's only
one firmware version.

Can I get the iBook to use the full function of the drive, i.e., to write DVD's?

Hello.

I believe you will need to check out a patch for your version of MacOS
located at (http://www.patchburn.de/). According to the site:

"PatchBurn is a tool to patch existing CD/DVD-drivers (under Mac-OS X
10.2.x) or to generate and install new device profiles (under Mac-OS
10.3.x and later)

It allows many, otherwise unsupported burners to be used directly with
Mac-OS X, iTunes and DiscBurner."

Good luck and hope it works!
