I have an external Firewire CDRW with an LG CED8120B mechanism. It worked great under 10.1.2 to 10.1.5. It doesn't work under the first two iterations of Jag. Told apple about this, but looking in their Disc Recording Frameworks (whos location has moved from 10.1.5 to 10.2) I notice no difference in the LG file- the 8042 mech is mentioned but not the 8120B. I tried putting the 10.1.5 file in the 10.2 system, but no dice.
any ideas on a possible hack to fix this would be appreciated.
Posted this to two other fora spots, hoping to cast a wide net. ![Wink](https://forums.macnn.com/images/smilies/oldschool/wink.gif)

YES YES YES
A gentleman in the OS X developer Macnn forum suggested changing the string of a supported LG drive in the Disc Recording Frameworks plug ins to that of my allegedly unsupported drive. I had tried this once last year with 10.1, and it didn't work. Figuring I had nothing to lose I tried it again. Apple System Profiler said "fully supported" and I was able to burn no prob from the finder!
Moral: It never hurts to try if things don't work already.

Hmmm... that actually might be a possibility to re-add support for my not-supported-anymore Sony CD-RW
What exactly did you do and how?
