Hack was a bad choice of words. More like updated. See <http://eshop.macsales.com/VST/>. Most of the VST UltraTek ATA/66 cards need a firmware update in order to work under OSX. > > The card itself appears as a SCSI card. The attached drives appear > as ATA > drives.

This is what we are getting at. Under OS9 the VST shows as SCSI, under OSX it will show everything as IDE. As for your CD/RW problem see <http://forums.xlr8yourmac.com/action.lasso?-response=list.faq.lasso&- database=faq.fp3&- layout=FaqList&Faq_Category=CDROMs%20and%20CDRs%20%20&- sortfield=DateSubmitted&-Sortorder=descending&- maxrecords=100&okaytopost=yes&-search> That got my LG CED-8120B running flawlessly under 10.2 and 10.2.3 with iTunes and Disc Burner.

If you use an ACARD ATA66 based PCI-IDE card, you don't have this problem because drives connected to one of those show as SCSI. I've got a Sonnet Tempo/66 with an 18GB partition for OSX. It is also the second partition, OS 9.2.2 is installed on the first 2GB partition. -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
