I bought one of the $30 MacResQ 8x4x32 CD-RW's discussed on the list a month or so ago and installed it into my 7300 w/Sonnet Tempo ATA-100 card yesterday. It's alone on the second channel, attached with an ATA-133 cable. It is bootable in this configuration, but only when you select a CD as the startup disk in the Start-up Disk control panel. Holding down C or pressing DOCS does not work (you get the "?") with an OS 9 CD. Additionally, while it works great as a CD-ROM in OS 9 (with either the Toast extension or the Apple CD/DVD driver, I've tried each, disabling the other in turn), it will not successfully burn a CD in OS 9. Toast recognizes the burner, burns the CD, and then crashes when it gets to "Finishing" (which is when it normally speeds up the rotation speed for a few seconds before telling you that the CD is ready). It locks up the computer every time, with both Toast 4.1.3 and Titanium 5.1.2, whether in real or simulation mode. However, it burns CDs perfectly in OS X, same machine, same Toast Titanium 5.1.2 app., same everything. Something to do with how the SCSI emulation works with the ATA card in OS 9, I suppose. FWIW.
