I can burn Blu-ray data discs from the Finder, and will be trying with Final Cut Studio one of these weeks. The new machine has SATA interfaces for the optical drive, so I was able to eliminate the problematic ATAPI adapter entirely. The hard lockups that plagued my G5 with the drive and adapter have not happened with this configuration. Best of luck in your troubleshooting! -Jim I’ve since replaced my PowerMac G5 with a 2009 Mac Pro, and the drive is working fine in the second bay alongside the Apple-installed SuperDrive, although Toast is still not happy with it.

I disabled the original superdrive to just leave the MCE drive in place but the same issues occur. Did you get anywhere this may have to go back and try an external USB drive. Cheers Paul Hello,

I installed a drive in my 2006 MacPro this weekend and I am getting exactly the same issues. I disabled the original superdrive to just leave the MCE drive in place but the same issues occur.

Did you get anywhere this may have to go back and try an external USB drive.

Cheers

I adore the radio version of Hitchhiker's Guide. Although I had read the books first, I was loaned the hand labeled cassette tapes (recorded off the radio, no less!) by a family I used to Nanny for. I took them with me on my Summer visit to the south of France, where we spent most of our days laying on the beach. While the sun was lovely, I was a lifetime beach bunny and really would have been bored out of my mind if I hadn't had the tapes to keep my mind busy! I may have to track them down for family listening! Thanks for the memory! xxoo JCW Oh! I adore the radio version of Hitchhiker’s Guide.

Although - I wasn't invited to the seminar. I work for ThoughtWorks, and I'm one of the people organizing it. Sadly, I won't be there at the time, though.
