Hiyas,
I have ordered a pyro firewire drive kit for an office I work in and basically I was after some advice on which ide burner to put in, which to avoid.
I was planning on the sony 140e? (32x R, 8x W & 4x RW) as it has 4mb of buffer and seems quite ok.
Any comments? How is the support for the burner software? Does it just support firewire burners or just particular ones?
thanks,
till

I have a Pyro enclosure and a Plextor 12x10x32 with burnproof. This is a great combinaison!. The enclosure fan is a bit noisy though.

Ahh I'd love to get a plextor, I have one of their cdroms myself. Unfortunately in aus they are mega pricey and poorly distributed so Im somewhat limited to the asian brands like asus, aopen, yamaha, sony etc.
I saw someone disable their fan in the enclosure, a bit risky really - but others have said that they were a bit loud.
Ta for the reply

Any reason why my burner (HP9300) would work when replacing the CD-ROM in my B&W G3 and not in my ADS Pyro external firewire case?
It works fine as a CDROM but Toast doesn't see it.

I'm using Toast 4.1.2 and the latest Firewire extension (2.7?). If the CDRW is installed internally to the IDE cable that the CDROM is attached to, Toast works fine.

I too have a Plextor 12x10x32 in a ADS case. It indeed works great. I
reduced the noise of the fan by placing a piece of paper in front of it.
mjpaci - Make sure you have the toast firewire extension on and i sould
insert a space in from of the toast reader extension to make sure it
loads before the Apple driver.

No luck. The Toast Reader extension loads before the Apple CD/DVD and all of the firewire extensions are there.
Does anyone else out there have an HP 9300 series CDRW working in an external Pyro Case?

Get the IDE Yamaha 8824. Best available, you won't regret it.

Thanks. HOWEVER, I ALREADY have the HP9300 AND the PYRO case. I am NOT made of money. 
I also like a challenge, so I want to make this work. The drive works INSIDE the machine, not inside the Pyro case AS a burner. It can read CDs, it's just that Toast doesn't recognize it as a device capable of burning a CD.

The only dumb question is one not asked.
They sell full burners - ready to plug and play.
There are SCSI models, FireWire models, and IDE models.
You can get things like LaCie's with Yamaha mechanisms, but theres nothing the same as a 100% Yamaha burner...

Thats a Toast problem. Your burner and Pyro are probably fine...
Try Toast 5. I'm sure you can find it if you look hard enough or ask the right person...
You may as well delete the Toast Reader extension and search www.resexcellence.com for the hack that allows the Apple CD/DVD driver to mount discs in burners and stuff... thats always worked like a charm for me.

BING!
I got it to work this morning. All I had to do was disable all of the Firewire drivers that came with the Pyro kit and use only the Apple supplied firewire drivers, the Toast driver, and the Apple CD/DVD driver.
Silly me for thinking that the Pyro drivers were even needed!

cipher13: thank you your reply. since you dont mind dumb questions, i know what scsii is, and firewire-but what is IDE? i know a laptop HD is IDE ( I think) but hpw does that relate to a burner? I thought I had done my research on this but obviously not. cheers. Stann
