If those wont do it, you probably have a hardware
issue, but those should do it. Also, if any of the above were the issues, it
wouldn&#8217;t have matter in Linux or Windoz, it is really not part of the operating
system picture.<o:p></o:p>

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.<o:p></o:p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><strong><b><font size=2
color=black face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:black'>Ok
here it is I have set the drive to slave although I/O magic states that they
recommend to use it as master.</span></font></b></strong><font color=black><span
style='color:black;mso-color-alt:windowtext'><o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

I'm
getting nothing but buffer underruns and questionable copied cdr's. Does anyone
have any input on this before <o:p></o:p>

I
remove it and its software. These off brand or cheep knockoff's of this type of
hardware are not as flexible in there<o:p></o:p>

installation
settings as better brand named products. ie: Hewlett Packard and the like. <o:p></o:p>

I
assume the same problems should occur in Linux since its a hardware issue and
not a software issue. <o:p></o:p>

I
did close (((ALL))) tsr's. I'm running dual-boot and can't set it to master.<o:p></o:p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><strong><b><font size=2
color=black face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:black'>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.</span></font></b></strong><font
color=black><span style='color:black;mso-color-alt:windowtext'><o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><strong><b><font size=2
color=black face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:black'>It
has to be set to master in order to work right.</span></font></b></strong><font
color=black><span style='color:black'>&nbsp;</span></font><font color=black><span
style='color:black;mso-color-alt:windowtext'><o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

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.<o:p></o:p>
