Hi Jeff; I got the OWC LightScribe burner about a month ago. I have only had time to do one CD just to test it. I used a Red Color LightScribe Memorex CD-R and burned the label. The label says on the upper Line (Circular text) "Apple Hardware Test" and on the bottom line "Dual 500 Mhz G4". It took 17 minutes to complete( with Dual 500 G4, OS 10.3.11) but the result looks very nice: Sharp black text on the Red disk. A neat but maybe not too usable feature of the Burner is that along with all the modern Disk types it also does DVD-Ram. I got an external case, on sale at that time, to put it in. The case has both USB and FireWire. I tried F/W first but none of my LightScribe type software could see the Label side of the disk with F/W. When I switched to USB all went just fine. The case is a Syba USB/FW to IDE enc 5.25 PlatSer OPEN: SYBSU2F5KOB And the Burner is a SamsungBlack 20X LightScribe DVDRW: SAMSHS202NBEBN ErnieG --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
