My G3 iMac is running Tiger OS X from an external FireWired drive.

The G3 has a built in CD only reader/burner.

I connected an LG external FireWire burner to the G3 but

when i load the external FW burner with a prerecorded/burned CD or DVD it does not show up on the desktop and accordingly the G3 does not see the external burner.

I thought that Tiger would have the drivers built in to mount a CD/DVD from an external FW burner. That same external FW burner works with an intel iMac and SnowLeopard.

What to do please to use this burner with the G3 iMac ?
