<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2>I'm having a problem with a&nbsp;I/O magic burner. I 
will state that I'll try it with Linux before I give up.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2>Ok here it is I have set the drive to slave although 
I/O magic states that they recommend to use it as master.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2>I'm getting nothing but buffer underruns and 
questionable copied cdr's. Does anyone have any input on this before 
</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2>I remove it and its software. These off brand or cheep 
knockoff's of this type of hardware are not as flexible in 
there</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2>installation settings as better brand named products. 
ie: Hewlett Packard and the like. </FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2>I assume the same problems should occur 
</FONT></STRONG><STRONG><FONT size=2>in Linux since its a hardware issue and not 
a software issue. </FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2>I did close (((ALL))) tsr's. I'm running dual-boot and 
can't set </FONT></STRONG><STRONG><FONT size=2>it to 
master.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2>I read all the info that came with it and I went to 
there web page to find info, but I came up with the same 
conclusion.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2>It has to be set to master in order to work 
right.</FONT></STRONG>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2>If this can't be worked out I'll just remove it and 
save up the money to buy a named brand unit. ie: HP.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
