I have burned at 16x from both my Pismo G3/500 and my iMac DV G3/400 'grape'. With two different external firewire CD-R drives, both 16/10/40. I don't recall whether they have 2MB or 8MB buffers, but buffer underrun was not a problem. One thing that IS important is that the file to be burned should reside on the computer's hard drive, not on another CD-ROM. I have not been able to direct-dupe CD-ROMs at 16X. Undoubtedly this is because the internal CD/DVD drives in my Pismo and iMac can only read CDs at 12X. ;-)
I've used Toast 4 OEM, Toast 5 OEM, and Apple's CD-Burn with success. System 9 and OS X (Jaguar).

"Let's you burn..." But have you successfully burned at those speeds? I
believe the Pismo architecture will cause buffer underrun at greater than
8X. Hoping I am wrong...;)
