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 :-(. Phil Read Worthing West Sussex UK
