I've installed one of the Matshita combo drives below (UJDA740) in my Pismo running OS9.2. The instructions at http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/PB_G3/oem_combo_drives/build_guide/build_combo_dr ive.html were helpful.
Now I have 2 questions: (1) The OS9.2 built in disc burner software will not recognize this. Toast does. The www.xlr8yourmac.com site provides a slightly altered driver file for the Matshita combo drive UJDA710. Can this be further altered for the UJDA740? (2) How do I tell whether the drive has been set to master or slave? Is there something in the OS Apple System Profiler? Does it matter whether the drive is slave or master for a Pismo?
