In your original post you said that you had the SCSI flash update for the
CDRW, hence the reason I mentioned the SCSI chain conflict.
As for the Audio, did you check to see if you connected the audio cable to
the CDRW? It was connected to you computer, there should have been three
wires, the power cord, the IDE cable and the audio cord, the smallest of
them all.
As for the CDRW showing up as 0 along with the harddrive.. are you using
system profiler? If so does it say like IDE 0,0 and IDE 0,1 or something
along that line to say that both are on the 0 channel of the IDE line but
each one having a seperate designation?
If you harddrive is working and you can read CD's then I would gather you
have no conflicts with the IDE chain as one would override the other or give
you some hassle with startup.
As for burning your CD's.. check with the maker of that version of Toast and
see if your CDRW is supported.. that might be why you are only able to read
and not burn.. the Apple CD extension might be allowing the read but toast
might not support the burn on that CDRW, you may need to update your version
of Toast.
