Hullo. I'm running 10.0.4/9.2.1 on a beige 266, 288 megs of RAM, the original 6 GB HD, Zip and floppy, and a TDK VeloCD CDRW 40/10/24 from Costco. The CDRW is connected as the master on a secondary IDE chain, with my old CD ROM as the slave on the same chain.
My problem is that I can't seem to successfully burn a CD with Toast 5.0, whether in X or 9. If I turn off buffer underrun prevention, it tells me that the buffer has run under, unless I burn at some ridiculous speed like 2x. When I turn that on I'm invariably greeted with a message informing me that an Error has occurred, and that The Connection Is Not Stable, no matter what speed I burn at.
I only recently installed the CDROM as a slave drive (yes, the jumpers are set correctly), but I had the problem before that. It's only grown more pronounced recently, though.
Should I (try to) return the drive to Costco and pay an extra $150 for a certified Mac IDE drive? Or is there something I'm missing here?
Thanks in advance.
