I duped a CD on my Q840AV using a Yamaha 8424 and a 4x CD-ROM. I was able to burn at 4x. In simuilation the buffer dropped only slightly. I don't think I'd do it again though, just to be on the safe side. I think you should be fine with a 12X. Make sure you have a large RAM buffer setup in Toast. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting [EMAIL PROTECTED] "I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway" -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
