Uh...  He's on 10.2

Karl, I think you'll need to upgrade to Panther to use your drive with
Apple's built-in burning software (and the iApps).  But with that upgrade
you not only get support for your DVD+/-RW drive, but you get a pretty
kick-a** operating system!  ;-)

Or you can use Toast.  I don't know if version 5 would support that drive,
but I know for sure that Toast Ti 6 does.

2 cents.
