In searching the XLR8y9yourmac database, I came up with something on my second choice for the Mac, an Iomega ZipCD650 drive which I also have. There was a problem mentioned about it not working with OS-X but no answer mentioned. In looking at the Iomega website, I found a program called Discribe which can be had for less than half the price of Toast. I've used Easy CD Creator on the PC and I know how well this software functions and I'm sure Toast works the same way, but has anyone ever used or tried Discribe? > I've done three drives that way (two cdrw's and a DVD-R/RW CD-R/RW), > all cheap ones bought at Office Max and all worked just fine. > > It depends on your OS...OSX is more likely to support them than OS 9. > I just mainly want to be sure the drive will work with a Mac hardware, guess I'll have to give this one a try. -- Just a message from Doug... -------------------------------------------- http://users.adelphia.net/~slugg0/index.html -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
