-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Dear Listers:
Just wanted to shout out a thank you for the folks to responded to my post. I've narrowed down the problem with the drive to burning on CD-RW discs only. It seems that Apple Disc Burner in Jaguar handles rather nicely when it comes to CD-R discs. It goes through the entire process without a hitch. I just wish there was a way to get it to burn on RW's correctly. ::sigh:: If anyone knows anything about it, please email me, but for now I'm rather content with my setup. Thanks again, all! - - John On Saturday, November 23, 2002, at 12:19 PM, Bruce Johnson wrote: > > On Saturday, November 23, 2002, at 08:46 AM, John Fox wrote: > >> Hi Listers: >> >> I recently bought an Iomega Zip CD 650 4x4x6 drive from >> TigerDirect.com >> and I have been in heaven ever since ripping copies of my mp3s. >> However, the software (Toast 4) that came bundled with it is for OS 9 >> and can be run in Classic.
