Quick question, I have installed a Yamaha CDRW drive in my beige G3 DT. It shows up as such in the system profiler OS 9.2 and 10.2.6. Is there any native software than can be used to test the burning capabilities of the drive? What about erasing a CDRW?
I just did this today. I installed a Yamaha F-1 drive in a Beige G3 running OS 10.2.8. I used Disc Burner to burn a data disk. You just stick the blank disk in the drive and a dialog pops up asking you what to do with it. If you give it a name and open it with Finder a CD-ROM ICON then shows up on the desktop to which you can drag files. When you are done just select "Burn..." (Something like that) from the menus.
Oddly to erase a CDRW you have to use Disk Utility.
My drive worked without doing anything fancy, I don't know how many drives OS X supports so YMMV.
