[G4] G4/667 upgrade: Sony 215A1 CDRW 48x24x48x & Apple burning software

[Tracker at aol.com]

ASP is telling you that you don't have the machine that is really there. The 
software is not recognizing the newer model. It is entirely probable that 
your particular model is not actually supported yet by the Apple burning 
software.

The thing to remember with any third party device is that the driver software 
for it may not be compatible with a Mac, or it may not be available yet.

I had to wait about 4 months before my Sony CD/RW-145s was finally supported 
by the OS upgrade. I could use it with Toast to burn, but it wouldn't work as 
a boot drive and wasn't able to burn with Apple software until the driver was 
updated.

Unless having the ability to boot from the drive is absolute, I suggest 
getting the latest Toast version to burn with. IMHO, Toast is a whale of a 
lot better than the Apple burner. I got around the boot problem by installing 
the original 24x CD in an external case and putting it on the shelf until I 
had a CD boot situation.
