I use a not-exactly-wonderful CD-RW (iomega zipCD 650), which is external USB 1.1, yet it wrote and fixated all three 9.0 beta 2 disks perfectly and they mount in both it and the internal CD-ROM (Teac 24x). I was amazed at this given the age of the external drive and the slowness and potential flakiness of the connection and suspect that, using CD Creator or Nero under Windows, I wouldn't have had the same success. The burns were all done in the simplest way via arson (arson.sourceforge.net) and 'just worked' without any fiddling with settings.
