Doug, I agree that USB burners are slow, but then so are a lot of older CD burners. Our c600, with a similar upgrade/configuration as your machine, has been quite happy with a LaCie external SCSI machine for the past two plus years. It is a 12-4-32 Sanyo drive inside the LaCie box. It works nicely with Toast. Toast Light came with the machine. We have upgraded to Toast Titanium. I have no idea if it works with Apple's Disk Burner. Toast is so nice, I did not go looking around at other programs. One warning about the LaCie drive... it has a very loud fan! Older SCSI CD burners show up regularly on the LEM Swap List. One nice feature is that quite a few of the external SCSI drives will boot the c600. Handy if you still have the original CD-ROM drive.
