Have you tried using Toast? If you are just doing a drag and drop in the Finder I think that it uses the built in Diskburner software which may or may not work with a PCI card. > Clearly the VST card is incompatible with the DVD-RAM drive which came > as an > option on many G3's and G4's.

Depending on how Diskburner works it may not recognize the DVD/RAM drive as a valid burner since is would show up as a SCSI device. It may work in X if you have that installed on your S900 because, if I remember correctly, the Ultratek card shows up in X as an IDE device.
