Next message: Tom Roth: "Re: [WinMac] Good CD-ROM burner?"
As soon as I upgraded to a fast source CD ROM for
duplication, my problems with CD burning on Mac
went away. Don't even bother with less than 4X
on both ends. Yamaha has been very reliable on
Mac Systems from PowerMac to G4. I agree with
staying with SCSI until the smoke clears, unless
you like being a pioneer.
I found the Yamaha CR8424SX extremely reliable.
Had to upgrade firmware (available from Yamaha)
and use a fast source drive.
