Henri, I can pretty much confirm that Memorex CD/R are garbage IMHO. A friend of mine had the same Iomega CD/R that I believe you have and had the same problems. On my machine (PowerBook G3/400 Firewire, External SCSI 8x CD/R (w/Adaptec PCMCIA card), I had more coasters with Memorex than with any other. I have had no problems with Imation CD/R discs (my preference) or with Fuji (have not tried Verbatim). ************************************************************************ ** Tony Shelburne IgLou Internet Services Senior Technical Support/Macintosh Support Louisville, Kentucky USA Voice: (502) 966-3848/(800) 436-4456 Email: tonys at iglou.com ICQ# 11640744 ************************************************************************ ** Mac OS X.
