Is anyone using an iOmega CD-RW USB drive with their PCI Mac successfully ? I bought mine several months ago.
It has been connected to 2 different machines. Attempted to run it under 8.6, 9 and 9.1. Also upgraded the Hotburn
utility and tried the Musicmatch software and Toast Lite too. Also with USB 1 and USB 2. I have tried three different disk types. Also have tried various speed settings. Four different USB cables have been tried too.
The machine works as it should when plugged into my friend's PC . On my Macs it has burned successfully four times and made about 25 coasters. iOmega support just regurgitates the manual. Monday night I tried 12 times and all seemed to be normal but every time I put the disk into the system drive it was reported as unreadable even though the
"initialize or eject" panel reported the file size accurately. And said it is in Mac format (?). Prerecorded disks are read normally by this drive.
I really need this to work. It's holding up my projects. I've been tempted to use the hammer treatment on it . But it has gone beyond that. I am determined to make it work if it ever will.
