For the information of the list.
Our old Iomega Zip 650 CD burner has a driver CD for OS8-9 only and
the Iomega site has no updates for OSX.
Peter Cutrona suggested 'PatchBurn'.
I downloaded PatchBurn and started to install it on the iMac just to
be told that 10.2.8 can handle the CD burner and doesn't need
PatchBurn. Tried it and sure enough it read CDs. I had to load up
Toast Titanium 5.1 to get full function. Slow, but it works well.
A friend bought an (expensive) USB burner for his iMac333.
He was soon in much pain over the reliability of the burn process.
We compared the throughput of the USB bus to the rate at which CDs are
written and it seemed that 2x speed was about the maximum USB is/was
capable of.
He would have been happier if he hadn't chose the more expensive
external burner due to it's greater advertised write speeds.
Are companies fibbing when they sell USB connected burners capable of
>2x burning?
It was called a QueWrite I think which was ironic as he always had quite
a queue of work for it ;)
I believe it is gathering dust these days if someone wants to make an offer.
