1. Upgrade to a newer version of Toast. Don't count on Disc Burner
working unless that particular drive is on Apple's list of supported
CDRW drives.
2. Call the drive vendor and ask for Mac OS 9.2.2 drivers, or just
visit the website and download drivers.

Thanks, but I have Toast 5.1 (isn't that new?) and there is no web site for
the drive manufacturer (it's a generic USB 2.0 external enclosure with an
Asus CRW 3212 burner.

Any more suggestions?
