You guys got me thinking about CD-RW Drives. I had a Mitsumi CR-4802-TE
which was being neglected due to lack of CD-RW software for Windows 2000
(I couldn't be bothered to fork out for EZ-CD 5.0). Well I've tried it
twice as a drive in my G3 B&W and the first time (in 10.0.4) it wouldn't
read disks off it, the second time (in OS 9.2.1) it wouldn't read or do
CD-R. I just had an inclination, reading the paragraph above, that it
might just work nad IT DID! Thanks for the info Steve :), where did you
find this list of compatible drives? The only one I could find was the
iTunes list and it only listed USB and FW drives.
