I am using my LaCie burner with a Power Mac 7300/200, Keyspan/Apple USB Card Support 1.4.1 and USB cards. Even LaCie admits that using their burner with USB cards is problematic. However, I have found that disabling all control panels and extensions, except for Toast, the USB Card Support, and memory, is the way to go. I disable virtual memory. I always check the cables before using Toast, as I find they can easily get loose. Obviously, I have to use a completely different extension set every time I want to use the burner, but I find that is the only way I can get the burner to work. Roxio, the company that makes Toast, has very good technical support and lots of helpful fact sheets. I suggest checking their website for more info. >---------- >From: "Frank Prothero" <prothero@xxxxxxxx> >To: muglo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx >Subject: <no subject> >Date: Tue, Jul 23, 2002, 7:19 PM >Hi. >I have an Imac and a LaCie CD burner which is about two years old but has >had very sparing use- about a dozen CDs.
