hi.
i have a ezquest firewire CDRW (teac 512 mechanism i think) which is problematic. it keeps disapearing in toast.
when i bought the drive (from macgurus) it came with a sheet of paper describing a procedure if it doesn't show up in toast p turn drive off - pull FW cable, turn back on - reinsert cable, restart toast etc.
i thought - uh-oh,, when i saw it, but the drive was fine for 6 months or so.
now it's getting really unreliable - and failing to write cds and p#ssing me off! anyone else had this problem?

Sounds like a real piece of junk. Can you still return it under warranty?

[badcat]

hope so - but i'm in New Zealand so freight will be pricey.
rather sort it out here if i can. of course i have remove all the wicked cd burner and authoring extensions.. system profiler sees gobbledygook on the firewir bus too if that's any help to you would be diagnosers...

I tried to help you with this where you previously posted it, the iMac thread I think. Take a look and see if it helps your problem. The burner is as decent as any other on the market, and has excellent tech support, unlike other brands which have been noted in these threads.
