[G4] Disk Utility does not see CD burner

[Michael Lawrence]

Thanks for the quick responses.

Rich and R Michael Vogt, thank you for your suggestions. I got an off-list
suggestion to download PatchBurn from http://www.patchburn.de/. This worked
a treat and was very simple. Burner is now recognised by System Profiler,
etc.

Thank you.

Michael.
