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

[B Yen]

Unbelievable..I got it to work.

In Extensions Manager, I checked the Authoring Support version & it was 1.1.3
version.  I went to apple.com & downloaded the 1.1.9 version & upgraded to it.

I took the hacked SonyCDR from xlr8yourmac (Mike Burmer's, for a 220E1 52x Sony),
used the Hexedit Carbon (sent to me by BDAqua) in rewrite mode, & changed it from
"220E1" to "215E1".  I burned the disk (while on the phone with someone), & it
apparently exited OK.  I ejected & re-inserted the disk, & the stuff is there.

Thanks again to everyone who helped!!  I haven't tried an Itunes burn (I'm not into
music), I may update my experiences later.
