[muglo] Toast and La Cie Burner

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.
