Good Day,

Can anyone recommend a good firewire CD-RW drive that will burn dual mode (Playstation) discs? I've read through the current topics and I see a lot of posts about both the Sony Spressa and the Que QPS drives, but there seem to be more negative posts about each of these drives than positive posts. I currently have an iMac rev. B but I plan to replace it in the next couple of weeks with a new DV SE or possibly a G4 Cube and I'd also like to buy a CD-RW at that time. Thanks in advance!

I have the Que! 8x4x32 Firewire CD-RW, and it's a wonderful burner - I burn everything at 8x with NO coasters.

As far as copying Sony Playstation discs, I've read that you need particular software to make it a disc readable by the Playstation, software which is no longer available. That has nothing to do with which brand of burner you use.

Of course, as with most things, you can find anything if you know where to look, or who to ask
And seeing as it is not comercially available any more...

Yup, Cipher sure is a useful chap to have around!

Anyway, I have a QPS Que FireWire 8X 4X 32X drive. No problems with it at all. It's a tad pricey, but otherwise i'm very pleased with it.
