Sorry I failed to make it plain it is an external firewire drive.
I will search the XLR8 site more later tonight. But I looked at three pages of listed FAQs and no mention of firewire drives.
And I guess I will have to open the case to find the drive model.
System profiler should tell you the model of the drive if you look at it while it's plugged in.
(Probably, OS X's does, but my OS 9-fu is receding ever farther into the misty past...I'm not even likely to install it on my new Pismo. I backed up the ol' boat anchor SCSI with my OS 9 install at home, and will probably turn it off, perhaps permanently. There isn't much on there that I still need.)
As I said, firewire or ata on the bus is irrelevant to iTunes and the authoring extensions. They see a drive; how it's connected doesn't matter.
And I guess Apple would rather help Windoze users burn from iTunes on the slim chance they may snag a convert.
While ignoring fostering the good will of the already converted.
iTunes almost certainly supports your drive, every update has added a number of drives to the list. iTunes is up to version 4.7.1. You're using version 2.
Would you fault Adobe if your version 3 of Illustrator didn't open current Freehand files, or would you concede that perhaps if you want the latest support you should use the latest version?
Apple threw the wake, had the funeral and buried OS 9 almost three years ago...<http://tinyurl.com/4x78x>
I know there are many people who use it daily and are happy with it, just don't rag on Apple for failing to 'foster the good will of the already converted'.
You're NOT 'already converted' if you're not using OS X, are you?
OS X isn't going to go away, it's not a passing fad, it's not something you can wish away, and OS 9's not something Apple wastes any time on any more.
And if you think Apple's favoring the Windows folk, well, you didn't hear the howls of outrage when Apple released iTunes for Windows and said you needed Win2K or better to use it.
Like all the OS 9 grognards, there are hordes of Windoids out there with Win95 and 98, and no intentions of upgrading.
Y'all are gonna start sounding like bitter Amiga users next. 8-P
