[X4U] New DVD/CD Burner not recognized

[Russell McGaha]

David;
	I've got a slightly older model of the same drive [possible the same  
one, it's at home and I'm at work]; in an even older G4 [G4 400] that  
works just fine;  I'd check jumper setting, [should be master],  
ribbon & power connections; if it still isn't seen [under 10.4.0 or  
later] I'd return it as defective.
