I recently got a Yamaha 2100 firewire drive. I hooked it up to my G3, loaded a CD and everything works fine (i.e. the drive reads CDs fine). I then decided to try burning a CD and loaded one of my brand-new blank Yamaha CD-R disks. Much to my dismay, these disks don't mount. Upon loading, the drive cranks them up, but not quite to the same speed as the other CDs and the disks never mount. I then have to do the paperclip thingy to get the CD back out of the drive. What gives?
Any help is appreciated!
PS: I have tons of RAM, use a 400MHz G3 XLR8 card and run System 9.2

I should also add that TOAST does not see a CD recorder ("check cables, power, etc" being the message). I'm using TOAST 4.1.2

That's odd...I had a Yamaha 2100E and it worked perfectly in both OS X and OS 9(Toast). Is there another computer you can try this drive out in? It could be a defective unit.

Thanks - unfortunately, my other machines don't have firewire, so that'll be tough.
Just so I know what to look for: should the blank CD mount on my desktop? I assume "yes" since the regular read-only CDs mount, but perhaps I'm missing something?

No, the CD-Rs don't mount on the desktop. I've had a Yamaha for some time with great success. I'm wondering if there's some conflict with the upgrade card.

What strikes me as odd is that a regular CD will mount and play just fine but that somehow the communication in the other direction seems to be dead. Is it possible that I have a TOAST 4.1.2 vs. OS9.2 conflict?

... another question: is it save to assume that the firewire card and the cable are ok, given that regular CDs are readable?

Folks, Thanks for all your contributions! The mistery is solved: it is an extension conflict with TOAST.
These links

http://www.ezq.com/1-714-694-0031/de...amp;SubPage=01 )
list a pile of possible extension conflicts with TOAST (which are not listed for example by roxio/adaptec...). Turns out, I had many of those questionable extensions loaded. I turned them all off and sure enough, TOAST recognizes my drive and burns CDs beautifully!
Now, since I just turned all of the extensions off, I can't say yet which one(s) were specifically to blame (I'll go back and do a one-by-one at some point) - I also don't know whether I messed up anything else in the process but so far everything still seems to run (even my external firewire HD which I had thought needed the Radiologic extensions which I zapped...
Anyway,
Thanks again to everyone for your input !!!!
If anyone is interested, these are the extensions I turned off: FireWire Authoring Support, USB Authoring Support, Authoring Support, Disc burner, Radiologic (everything)
