Re: internal cdrom eject
Hello, Paolo, RE: your first concern, does the eject module (the one that is placed by the OS in the upper task-Menu- bar) work if you click on it? If you don't have it present, and would like it, go to HD/System/Library/CoreServices/MenuExtras - double click on the Eject.menu script and the little triangle will appear. I'm curious if your disc drive responds to that. RE: your second concern, my first thought was to go into the CD/DVDs Preference Panel (System Preferences/Hardware/CDs DVDs) and set it to Ask when a disc is loaded. Just my first thought.

You may have old firmware on the NEC DVD burner? My Lacie Porsche Design Firewire DVD burner came with an NEC ND-3520A DVD unit that was about 5 revisions old on firmware. Even the Oxford FW bridge needed an update also. I'm not sure if the Mac PPC Lacie Firmware Update Tool works for drives mounted on the ATA bus, but you might try it because it's a comprehensive updater with firmware for all their DVD drives. Mine was update from v.3.01 to v.3.07. Here's a link to the updater: http://www.lacie.com/support/drivers/driver.htm?id=10147 All works fine, but I would be even happier if the eject button on my keyboard would work as it did with the old Sony reader ! Should work. I'd make sure the DVD unit has newest firmware. -- -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
