Oh I agree here. On my 100Mhz pentium machine I have to close out of everything, free up as much memory as possible, and fast for three days before I can get a good write. I've probably toasted a half a dozen CD-Rs, but I'm still getting around 70-80% so it's okay. I unfortunatly don't have any experience with CDrs on macs, but you better have atop notch SCSI card on a windows machine to be moderatly successful. Then again, I often get weird hardware errors with the Pinacle drive we have. So I'm not sure what the problem is. __ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ gil yaker / orbital@hazmat.com
