Has anyone succesfully burned CD's on the DVD-RAM drive that came with the G's? Toast 4 Deluxe does not work for me. It won't recognize a compatible drive. In addition, after upgra…

Toast 4.0 is not compatible with MacOS 9. Toast 4.0 update is supposed to resolve MacOS issues. The 4.01 update is not yet available, ------------------ Andy Pastuszak apastusza…

All currently available DVD-RAM drives CANNOT write to CD/CD-R/CD-RW/DVD-R/DVD-RW/DVD+RW. They are only good as a 5.4 GB floppy disk (and to read DVDs and CD's) that the Finder kno…

Let me see if I understand. The current DVD-RAM drive in my G4 will never be able to burn CD's (be it CD-R, CD-RW, music CD, etc.)? The full functionallity of the drive is to read …

That's essentially correct! That part about Toast 4 not working with OS 9 is debatable though. Mine works just fine. I think it has a problem mounting images but I don't use th…

I have heard reports that the Toast CD Reader will lock up while booting up. Does your CD Reader load just fine?

The Toast CD reader extension does not load on my computer (G4/OS9) either. It has a red X on it.

Toast CD Reader extension from version 3.5.7 also will not load on my G4-450mhz. I have an APS external CD-ROM Burner (Yamaha 400) and at first I could not startup the G4 with the …

Are you using OS 9?

Hi... this is an old topic, but I was wondering some of the same things as I will be buying a G4 in the next two months (unfortuntely, I don't think I can wait until July, in case …

The Que! DVD-RAM drive apparently can write CD-R as well as DVD-RAM. The built-in DVD-RAM on G4s can NOT write CD-R disks. It can read just about any format though. The Finder us…

MacAddict reviewed the Que! CD-R drive as an absolute piece of crap. The problem was the driver/other software that kept crashing the test machine. Any comments? Same for DVD-RA…

Try re-reading my post. The CD-R is a different piece of hardware. I eval'd a Que! CD-R and it does suck, but you're comparing apples and oranges. Scott

That's what I was hoping! Thanks!

I've heard that the DVD-RAM drives are slow and that using Retrospect instead of the finder (drag-and-dropping) is twice as fast. I haven't tried it - I don't have a DVD-RAM drive…

Hi, just wondering what the deal is on RAM pricing? Can't we do something about this!?! I'm from Canada and the prices I see at my local Mac --- Warehouse are freaking insane. 698…

Most attribute the price increase, at least in RECENT months, to the Taiwan earthquake. The good news is that prices are again starting to fall, and there are, indeed, some great p…

Ya, I've seen lower prices in US also, but this is coming from a local mail order (warehouse) plus they want 24bucks extra to install it...dah...here..have a pitch-fork! Thanks f…

While I know it is not an Apple-supported configuration, I believe that PC100 SDRAM actually will work in a beige G3 (which requires 66MHz SDRAM), because slower RAM of otherwise i…

Hmmm, that's good, I'll do some tests and try to borrow some from I guy I know...as long as the voltage is ok it should be ok...I hope...I'll use some lowrange...32mb maybe a 64...…

Fox Don't know what part of Canada you're in but 698.95 ($CDN) is a major rip-off for 128 MB SDRAM. Discount MacClub <http://www.discountcompu.com/dmc/> here in V…

bb2well, ya, this is also the highest price I've seen as of yet, and I would deffinetely never order from that place, but I guess when you're in a rush you can get it delivered qui…

check out www.crucial.com they have a menu to direct you to the proper RAM for your macintosh but offer pc-market prices. They also have an excellent reputation. --------------…

I haven't tried these guys (yet) but their prices look good. http://www.ramjet.com Scott

Fox (if you are still viewing this board): >I can't believe after 10 years of people getting gouged for buying RAM that the prices haven't gone down! Ya, ok, it costs some …
