Please help me get this frigging useless QUE Firewire drive out of my life!
I'm looking for recommendations for a burner that'll always be read by OS X.1; that'll always burn in Toast or iTunes. I'm sick of having no support in X and never knowing whether the drive'll be read at all when I boot into 9. It's always a crapshoot.
I've wasted enough time with this damn thing.
TIA

EZQuest Boa - always works, no coasters, Apple Disk Burning and Toast Compatible. A bit large, but quiet and attractive. Smalldog.com has a nice selection of them.

HAHAHA, I saw the topic and came to post about recommending the Que Firewire 12x10x32, LOL.
I love mine, and I have had no problems in X, or especially in 9. The only coasters I made was trying to burn a bootable 5G48 but I didn't have Disk Copy beta or the instructions.
Other than that, the drive rocks in X and 9 and only have good things to say about it.

Do you have a USB Que? I heard they suck.
My FireWire Que is the best!

My Firewire LaCie Pocket CD-RW hasn't produced a coaster yet (in Toast or Apple's stuff). It's a bit expensive, but, since it uses a laptop drive, it's tiny. Oh, and it's bus-powered.

I don't think that drive has BurnProof though. For that price it should.

I have a LaCie 8x/4x/32x FireWire CD-RW. It works perfectly in all regards when using Toast. With the built-in CD-RW support in 10.1, it writes just fine, and reads CD and CD-R without any problems, but if I insert a CD-RW that I previously burned with the CD-RW drive, it won't read it, claiming it is unreadable. It will read fine when I put a CD burned with the CD-RW drive into my internal DVD drive, though. Weird.
Oh, and the drive is horrendously noisy! I'm forced to turn it off at any time that I am not burning CD's. I'm a musician so this tends to be somewhat

I'm sorry your having trouble with your Que. I have a Que<font color = red>!</font> Fire 8X4X32X CDRW firewire drive which has worked great in OSX since CD burning was added to OSX. Give us more specifics on your drive so perhaps we can figure out why it's not working.
Cheers!
