... according to IOMega.
I couldn't get their drive to work with anything except a single brand of media. They told me it was because of OS X. (Forget about the fact that I had the same results with the drive on OS9 and Windows 98 as well.)
FWIW: check out this knowledge base article:
"Will my Iomega® drive work with Macintosh® OS X?"
(Which ends with "Mac OS X does not currently support CD-RW drives" http://www.iomega.com/support/documents/10967.html
(After having a bad JAZZ drive and now this ... I'm done with IOMega.)

I'm not sure exactly when Apple released X.1.3, but that was supposed to add support for tons of CD burners. The date of the Iomega post was 2/28. If it was after X.1.3, maybe they hadn't heard yet (hard to believe). What version of OS X are you running?

It was a hardware problem.
(But I'm running OS X 10.1.3)
But the e-mail they sent me today said that they don't support OSX nor do their drives work on any version of Toast past 4.0.
Go figure.

Their drives don't work with Toast beyond version 4? What? Um... okay. FWIW I'm using an iomega zip CD 650 (CD-RW) right now in 10.1.3 with Toast 5.1.2 to burn CDs... iomega seems to have misled you on this one.
Cheers!

my brothers Predator USB works just zippily fine with Toast 5.1.2 in Mac OS X 10.1.3.
It did not work in 4.x versions of Toast though.

As far as media is concerned... I have found that certain media is better than others... Imation has worked well for me, while some cheap generic disks have produced less than stellar disks. FWIW!

I wouldn't touch Iomega when it comes to CD-RWs. They make removable cartridge drives - that's what they know - that's the only thing I'd buy from them.
