I don't think so. Some of my machines are extremely complex--mixed scsi/ide, zips, flashcard reader, cdrom & cdwriter--and supermount works. I'm leaning towards firmware, or possibly to the mobo manufacturer's ide implementations. I have an IBM SCSI cdrom, a couple of Seagate scsi harddrives, ide cdroms from Phillips, Lite-on, Mitsumi and Sony, ide CDwriters from Phillips and Sony (2), ide HD's from WD, Maxtor, and Quantum. USB zips and USB SanDisks (2 models, one of which didn't work with 8.0, but both work with 8.2). One board has on-board scsi, another has an Advansys pci card. I had (still have, gathering dust) a HP 8100 cdwriter that I never could get to read properly--it even burned a lot of coasters with Windows. Thinking about it, that could have been a supermount problem. And, one of my Sony burners will mount fine on one of my machines, but gives me problems on two others--screwy drive firmware incompatible with my mobos??? Possibly, because the Sony also gave me problems in Windows. The way I'm setup now, everything works, including the #!%&& Sony, though. e.
