Nice Christmas present let's hope you can get it to work! Well since you know about the xlr8yourmac.com site that is a very good place to check for drives that work for others. A few things to try. Some people have reported that having the Apple CD driver installed keeps some lit-on drives from burning cd's. They also said the Toast driver works fine once you remove the Apple driver. It is easy to disable using the extensions manager. Are you using the ACARD firmware for the AEC 6260M ATA 66 card? It is the same card as the Sonnet and the firmware is newer that what is available from Sonnet. ACARD website has it. Some CDRW burners need to be set to Master and used at the end of the IDE cable. The ATA card has two plugs on it. Sometimes one plug works better then another with CD drives. Also some CD drives like to be by themselves on the IDE cable. The ACARD website has a list of CDRW drives that work with the ATA 66 card (unlike Sonnet) They seem to be mostly older drives and the list not updated for sometime. There is a Yamaha 2100 on the list which maybe still current model. Best of luck Will S -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
