Yeah, I had tried both Toast and Retrospect.  Same result.  The valuable
aspect about the DVD-RAM drive is that it is also Drag-n-Drop, so each
filled/partially filled cd-like disk is a portable 4.7 or 9.4 gig hard
drive.  Anyway, it shouldn't require burner software although it is supposed
to work that way too.  I want and need drag-n-drop capability.

Now this is something I haven't considered.  The other two G4's that the
unit worked fine on were running 9.2 on the main bus.  I'm not quite ready
to go to X yet as I need another larger hard drive.  Even then, I would
still like to get this thing operating under the 9x environment.  I wonder
if maybe there could be something in 9.2 that 9.1 doesn't provide?  Not
likely however.

X may be another option that I can explore in the near future but I need to
get it working in 9x even if I have to buy a new card. (Once I find a card
that will work).  

So thanks for the idea, I'll add it to the soup.

Dave
