I'd like some help. I have an external Yamaha 4416s CDRW, Beige G3/XLR8 G4 300, OS 10.1.5, plenty of RAM.
The CDRW works like a charm in OS 9.......... with TOAST 4- Titanium. In OS X it will often show up in the ASP as a supported SCSI burner with the drive info correct. However it will not mount a cd nor burn. If a blank CD is inserted prior to start-up the following sequence takes place: Disk it ejected during start-up. After reinsertion spinning beach ball ensues and system slows for maybe a minute syst. box asks to prepare disk for burning......if yes beach ball followed by ejection........if continue it then says it can't read the drive and wants to initialize or eject or continue. Continue results in norm system behavior, but no CDRW access. I next downloaded and installed CDRW SCSI first aid(not at my home computer so the exact name escapes me). No go. After repeating the above sequence to no avail I bought TOAST T. for X which claims to be compatible with X and the 4416s. No joy. X still goes through the above sequence, then Toast seems to work in a normal fashion. It sees the drive allows one to set up to burn............Then crashes to a degree that a force quit is required. Actually it takes two force quits to actually quit TOAST. A call to Roxio tec. sup. 30 min. of questions, answers, restarts, crashes and they say it is Apples fault and my only recourses are burn in OS9 or wait for Apple to fix the problem. Any ideas? Do any of you have a CDRW working on the G3 external SCSI? Thanks Wayne -- -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
