Maybe some of you can help me. I bought a Panasonic KXL-RW21A portable CD burner. It has a USB cable that I connected to my iMac 400 MHz.
I'm not familiar with that particular burner, but if it's at all recent (ie the last two or three years), that's a USB2 burner you're attempting to work with on a machine that only has USB1.1.
Guess what's going to happen.
It should work, but at a lower burn speed. USB 2.0 is a super-set of USB 1.1, backward compatible, AFAIK.
Anyway, it is USB 1.1, so no problem there.
Do somebody knows if there are OS X or 9 drivers for this CD burner?
Patchburn III (OS X only) may allow you to "see" the drive -- and it's free! -- but if I'm right about that being a USB2 burner, it's not really going to help much.
Thank you for the tip, I'll look it up.
The burner is very small and light so I'd like to keep it.
Um, wouldn't it have been a good idea to check for Mac/Toast compatibility BEFORE buying it?

Well, yes (blushing feeling guilty), but I never had troubles of this kind before. Either Disc Burner or Toast recognized my CD burners before, so I didn't even tought about it. :-)
Thank you for your help.
