I am wondering if anyone on this list has gotten a Mitsumi CR48X8 TE CDRW drive working with KreateCD or KOncd or anything else as far as
Yup. One of those served me faithfully for nearly three years. Recently demised, though.
that goes. I have gotten the drive to read, erase cdrw's, it slices, it dices, it makes juliene fries, but it won't burn a CDR or rw disc.
CD-R discs are fine, as long as you use reasonably high-quality, full-size CD-R media. I like Imation, have had good luck with Verbatim, and have resorted to Maxell and Memorex in times of need with good results. My only coasters came from using Windows or my own silly mistakes, not the drive or my software. It will not work at all with CD-RW (that's not what it was made for), and can recognize but not burn to 3.5" media.
KreateCD always comes up with errors, but it also sees the drive but recognizes it as a Philips CD522 for some reason and I don't know if that is just KreateCD or cdrecord not being updated for this drive?
This is consistent. I don't use graphical tools, so I can't help you with those, but cdrecord was great. Remember, 4x8 means 4x CD-R and 8x read; there is no support for CD-RW media of any sort, except that it can read. :) -- -=|JP|=- Need a good geek? I'm unemployed!
