Does anybody know of a good CD burner that would actually work on a G3
All-In-One. I have tried 2 so far: a LG and a Lite-On with no success.
The LG drive would not even burn correctly (had to use a hacked driver for
it). The Lite-On had only a limited success: it would burn CDs without a
problem (it said in the Apple System Profiler that it was fully supported)
but when it came to rebooting from the 10.2 CD...nothing but a blank screen.
I really don't want to go through every models of burners out there until I
find one that will work. So anyone with a AIO (266 Mhz with OS 10.2.8) who
has managed to put a CD burner in their mac, I'd really appreciate their
advice. Xlr8yourmac was NO help at all (I based my Lite-On purchase on the
reports in their compatibility database).
Certainly worth talking to the MCE folks http://www.mcetech.com/. They just released a CD/RW unit for the original iMac. The Bondi Blue iMacs and the G3 AOI are almost identical in bus, cpu, etc. and of comparable vintage. I would expect that if their unit runs in original iMacs, it will run on the AIO?
Sure worth investigating. No personal experience with an AOI, just a guess.
