I've just taken delivery of a Yamaha CDRW 4x2x6 from Mac and More and I'll 
be buggered if I can get it to work properly. 

I've plugged it in, it's there on the SCSI chain, Toast is installed but 
whenever I try to write anything to it, it goes through the motions and 
sometimes gets right to the end but it always throws up some kind of error 
often listed as a hardware error to do with sense keys and track following.
So far I've got 2 unusable CDRW's(they now just give errors or crash when
inserted) and as far as I can tell a CDR that can't be seen by the Mac but
Toast is quite prepared to try and write to again!

I'm of the opinion there is a problem with the drive(obvious?) because 
I've gone back to the Apple CD driver from using FWB and I've tried 
writing a CD with the extensions off and I still get errors.

Any help would be appreciated before I phone and get them to pick this 
drive up and replace it :-(.
