The only recent OS 9 compatible DVD burning possibilities I recall
seeing recently to purchase are from heagap.com's online store.
Otherwise check out xlr8yourmac.com's database and ebay, amazon.com,
LEM swap, etc. At least xlr8yourmac.com's database has a very
extensive database. Also PC online part stores might have some deals

Maybe try zeroing the disk? Should get rid of all formatting...

My G4 MDD already has two 250gbs so I don't need a SATA card. My G4
initially recognized the new HD and it's full format, but once I reformatted
I have not been able to find a way back off the 128gb sizing. I remember
reading a process a while back, something to do with pin position and first
formatting one way and then another to get back to the max. You'd think my

Yes, my MDD dual 1.0 already has two 250gb drives, and it initially
recoginized the new HD with about 305gb, but once I reformatted there has
been no way back. I'm usually pretty clever, but even trying to reformat in
a G5, booted on a CD in another G4, swapping master/slave/cs no luck.

Did you reformat it in the FW case? If so then it sounds like the FS
adapter card has the 128 Gb limit.

Can your G4 handle large drives, is it a later model QS or MDD?

You're hitting the LBA limit. Getting a card such as one of the Sonnet
(S)ATA cards will allow you to overcome it, or simply keep it externally
as FireWire, which has no such limitation.

Help... I was going to do a clean HD swap in my G4, bought a 320gb
Maxtor, plugged it into a firewire external case, restarted the G4,
and saw that I would have the usual 95% of the 320gb or so to copy
to, so I was happy. Then, like a dummy, I figured I'd reformat it
just to be on the safe side before copying everything over. Now I

A DVD burner to use with iDVD v1 or Toast 5?

amckenzi...@gmail.com (gmmugman) — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 16:51:09 UT

Computer: Yikes G4

Software: Final Cut Pro v1, Mac OS 9.2.2

Problem: Client wants to be able to burn video DVDs of the projects
she creates with Final Cut Pro.

Software possibilities: She has iDVD v1, as well as Toast 5.

The question is: Can a "current" DVD burner (whether installed
internally or in an external FW case) be used with either of these

Thanks :) I'm trying to shore up my other projects through Christmas. After
Christmas, I'm going to determine the next move on Classilla, most important
being trying to solve the scrolling problem. I also want to undo the
regressions I introduced in 9.0.4 -- it seems I introduced nearly as many

I just wanted to give my positive feedback on Classilla v. 9.0.4.
It's fast!
It's fun!
Fairly stable!
And it's always nice to get back to that cozy productive place only
Mac OS 9 & 8 has!
Unfortunately Mac OS X is beyond fun anymore and requires more power

Try the LEMSwap list. It's amazing what you can find there.

Any OHCI-compliant card should work with OS 9.1. I generally recommend
Sonnet cards because they work fine with OpenFirmware.

Do you still have any documentation for this WalkMan?
From what I've read on Wikipedia they aren't compatible with Macs
though that doesn't mean there's no hacks out in the wild for it to be
made to work with Mac OS 9

Well, there's one option. ^_^ Use WinXP if you want this to work.
