I have had some problems with Dell drives (in my hands they seem to stop 
working after a while), but it works OK with my Amax IV and 
ShapeShifter.  The one thing I have noticed is that I get  many disk 
errors from a disk formatted on another Mac, oh well.  Never seems to 
happen with install disks from a vendor tho.

I would suggest moving to at least 7.1.
