I don't have an iOmega CD-RW, mines a Que! USB drive. I found that Toast will suggest 16X speed (the max this drive will do), but anything over 4X is too much for USB 1 to handle. When burning audio 2X is as fast as it will work. > > The machine works as it should when plugged into my friend's >PC .

Just make sure you do it in the presence of the other machines you own, just to show 'em who's in charge :) Good luck, J White -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
