Hi, I've got a Lacie 4x burn, 8x read panasonic cd-r drive. I've attached it to my LC 475 and Performa 5200 and neither recognize the music cd inside the drive. It shows on the 'Apple System Profiler' but it does nothing else. I've tried finding drivers but links are dead and they don't exist on the Lacie website. I'd like to ask for some help. Where can I get drivers and manuals?.

maybe you could find an old version of Toast on hotline. I used Toast 4 to mount an old obscure CD-R on my 1400.mathgeek 68K Macs Liberated: LC, Performa 636, Mac Classic II My Powerbook 1400 page http://www.its.caltech.edu/~dgoulet/1400 |

Thanks, I got the toast of the 68k mirror and use the 'mount volume' command and it'll work. If you were curious what the music cd was it was Saturday Night Fever Soundtrack. I can see why they call the 5200 a road apple. I could only get it to burn a cd in simulation at 1x burn. I have 32mb of RAM!. I bet you I could get it to burn quicker on my Quadra 650. Here's another question. I have an Apple PowerCD, it can read and display photocd's on a TV. Can I burn these?.

Hmm, I'd like to know the same thing about PhotoCDs. Also, mathgeek, out of curiousity, what speed can your 1400 burn at? I'm just wondering, because with my Teac 6x24 CD-R, i can only get 2x, whereas on my 630 i can get the full 6x. I think it has something to do with the slower SCSI bus that don't support SCSI Manager 4.3.

ml5, Are you saying that you can burn at 6x on a Quarda/Performa 630? With that slow bus they have I would have thought they'd be slower. emaq123

Yeah, my LC630 burns at 6x, with the onboard SCSI without a single problem! I think it might have something to do with SCSI Manager 4.3 though....my 1400 can't use SCSI Manager 4.3."**** em" - Jobs in regards to customers Warrior maclover5 68kMLA Official 68kMLA Detective Number of 68ks Liberated: 7 Number of Contraband (PPC) Liberated from the Dumpster: 1 |

I have my cdr attatched to my 840av, as opposed to my 7600/132.Reasons being; 7600 is complete pain in the backside, dosn't sit anywhere nicely, cables have to be streched to their max & need to have it up high so as to reach cd drive & reaching round the back is like me standing on tip toes & stretching & the mess of wires is hideous, (shak is now turning red) Now the 7600 as an upgrade machine yes I know why people like it but for convenience I just can't fit it anywhere , My 840av sits niceley at the side of my desk, the cd drive is high enough for me to reach without straining & the wires/ports are all in one line(well mostly) which makes them a damn site easier to plug/unplug, I have just had to compensate, trying to not have to remove any of the wires from the 7600 nor attempting to move the 7600 in anyway. That really felt good getting that off my chest, I hope the poster of this post will forgive the little rant. Now my cd-r drive is Yamaha 4x4x16 & my 840av(128MB ram(cheaper 72pin simms, cheaper than powermac ram I've found) takes about 15 minutes to burn a cd from a music album. I can now burn a cd on my 840av whilst using my 7600 for web browsing. shaktiman Quadra 840av, prettymuchmaxedout8xcd drive os 8.1 128 meg ram, 500 meg hard drive PPC7600/132, 4.23Gig & 500 Meg drives, 8X cd os 8.6 Performa400(deadintheattick) 3 monitors 15" & 14" & 14" |

I am currently useing a PowerMac 8500/150, and am looking into getting a CD Burner for it, but I am in need of some sort of Burner software. Does anyone know where I can get an older version of Toast? I am running version 8.6, but Toast 5 needs 9.x. If anyone could help me, it would be really appreciated.Who need 2.5 ghz anyway? |

the MLA Hotline Server (68k.dyndns.org) should have it...Does LaCie have drivers or info for your drive macman6? (just as a thought, dunno though) shakti, where do you try to put the 7600? it's designed to sit nicely under almost any Apple monitor, that which is less than 20" at least, where it's usually pretty close to all your things with cables, power, ethernet, scsi drives, serial modems, short corded monitors, those short ADB cords and "yeah" Official 68k videographer Official MLA TourGuide Editor of the MLAgazine "I'm just a normal computer geek who somehow landed a social life" |

they didn't have any info except current models on the Lacie drive. I got it to work with toast but scsi probe didn't want to work. Since school started I haven't played with the drive in a while.Editor of the printed word, Ministry of 68k Truths (mini6) ------------------ PowerCD, Mac HD 20, SE, Classic II, IIx, IIvi, PB 170, LC 475, LC 575, Quadra 650, Performa 5200, iMac 333 How you like d'em apples?! |
