What about the new 44x/24x/44x Firewire burner from Yamaha? It works from Toast 5.2 of what I heard. But anybody whoy tried it in finder and iTunes?

Maybe this will help:

Tell me what you find, we've ordered one of these and I hope I can use it with Backup.app.

We have this drive in the External Yamaha case. We picked it up in November of 2002, days before 10.2.2 came out. From the 10.2.2 readme:

Adds support for additional third-party disc burners, including: LaCie d2 48x24x48x, Sony CRX-820E, Toshiba SD-R2212 and SD-R1202, Pioneer DVR-105, and Yamaha CDW-F1 44x24x44x models.

I've got this model Yamaha installed in an ADS Pyro 1394 case. The unit works great in the Finder but it's invislble to iTunes. I tried the user-hacked DiscBurner plugin for it without success. In fact, with the user hacked plugin, iTunes quits when I try to view the 'Burner' pane in the Preferences window.
I'm running 10.1.2 ...the iTunes 3 compatibility list includes this drive but I'm guessing that I might also have to be running 10.2 (Jaguar).
Hope this helps.

By the way, there is a free kernel extension / driver that
enables the Freecom Traveller USB CDR on Mac OS-X 10.1.3 - 10.2.1.
This drive doesn't have osx-support out of the box.
You can find it on

Thank you, Bernd!

This has been known for a while and www.xlr8yourmac.com has been accumulating the modified plugin files submitted by its readers for quite a while. You may want to check to see if the support file you are looking for is already there.
If you want to modify a plugin file beyond swapping just a single character or two, it gets pretty hairy. I have a Samsung combo CDRW/DVD drive, and wanted to modify the file for Samsung which had a regular entry for just a CDRW drive. The longer spelling of CDRW/DVD added one additional character to the identification for my 332B drive, and it was impossible to modify the file without making it useless. If anyone has tips regarding how to insert an additional character into the drive identifier without making it useless, it'd be greatly appreciated. Thx.

whoooow,
finally got my external FireWire QPS (lite-on 32125W) working with iTunes!!
thanks for the Tip!!

I've a Yamaha CRW2200UXZ External USB 2.0 20X Write/10X Re-Write/ 40X Read CD-RW Drive.
Under OS9 Toast recognizes it as CRW2200E
Under OSX i get No recorder found in toast,.
I've opened my YamahaCDR.device-plugin and searching for 2200 returned my this:
YAMAHA

dunno what happened but the msg was posted truncated

I've opened my YamahaCDR.device-plugin and searching for 2200 returned exactly a CRW2200E
so the burner should be supported ,(right?) but actually neither Toast nor itunes,etc recognize it. Apple sys profiler sees it as CRW2200UX attached to the usb channel.
any suggestion??

Tried to (unsuccessfully) add support for a TDK CDRW161040. Any ideas? I just replaced '161040' for one of the other TDK burners...

Hi, thanks for posting this great hint! I was able to get my TDK 40X CDRW that I threw into a firewire case to work with 10.2
thanks for posting a link to the hex editor!

I posted earlier about using this drive successfully in the Finder but having iTunes fail to report it. I visited xclr8yourmac.com and found the hacked plug-in that enables iTunes to see the drive.
I have read in various places that the hack isn't necessary under OS X 10.2.2 but even after upgrading to 10.2.2 my iTunes failed to report the presence of the Yamaha. My 'old reliable' Que! Fire 8x4x32 remained visible through the upgrade from 10.1.5 to 10.2.2.
After installing the replacement device plugin file I can report that not only does the Yamaha CDR-F1 now show up in iTunes, so does my Que! Fire 8x4x32. In the space where iTunes lists the optical drive it now shows a pop-up menu from which you pick the device you want to burn on. Now, if I click the 'Burn' button the drive door on the CDR-F1 opens since that's the drive I select in the Burning panel in the Preferences window.
I left the speed setting on 'Maximum' and achieved a burn speed on my single test of about 16.5x (approx. 4 min. to burn 66 min. of music).
I was curious to see if iTunes would allow me to have a CD-R/CD-RW cooking in both drives at once but no dice since it accepts only one disc. I haven't tried this but it might be possible to have a burn going both in iTunes and in the Finder...my Dual 450MHz G4 should have the horsepower and the Firewire bus the bandwidth for it.

I forgot to supply some system information for reference purposes:
Dual 450MHz G4, 1.5GB RAM, IBM Deskstar 60GB x2 (connected via UltraTek100+ ATA PCI card), 80GB
OS X v10.2.2
Que! Fire 8x4x32x CD-RW on FireWire port A
Yamaha CDR-F1 44x24x40 (ADS Pyro 1394 Drive Kit) on FireWire port B

Thanks for the tip. It worked great for an Iomega USB drive. The file to hack is PhilipsCDR.device-plugin. Look for the text 'ZIPCD 650'. Right under that will be the string that identifies the drive, which will be 'ZIPCD1024EXT'. Replace that with the string your drive uses. In my case it was 'CDRW23042EXT3-B'.
I don't own Toast, so to find out what this string was, I loaded the Iomega software which was included with the drive, called Hotburn, in OS 9 and used that. Although similar to the model number listed on the drives manufacturer's tag, it is not the same. This might be the problem some people are having.
To the poster that needs to put in a string longer than the original, just overwrite the adjacent null characters, which show up as '.' in the ASCII column of HexEdit. In other words, you only replace characters, not add them. When you are done, GetInfo should show the exact same file size for both the original and hacked file.
Thanks for a great site and all the useful tips.

For the Iomega CD-RW 48x24x48, you edit the LiteOn device plugin. Change 'CDRW2304FEXT-B' to 'CDRW55292EXT3-B' or 'CDRW55292EXT3-C'. Use Apple System Profiler to figure out whether your drive is the B or C version. Note: you will need to overwrite one of the null characters since the new string is one character longer.

Hello, I have found the files, and loaded them into the Hex editor program that shows up on this website for download. I do not know how to change the file though.
If I drag the Phillips file icon to the desktop, the hex editor will let me change that file. But if I try to change the file that is locked, it says that I cannot change that file.....Any help would be appreciated. And to the gentleman who posted the correct string of numbers and letters to use for the i
