We should avoid LITE-ON on Mac OS 9:


- LITE-ON SHW-1635S: To write a DVD, only Auchan branded are accepted. Thanks god that are the cheapest here :)

- LITE-ON SOHW-1673S Reads everything on Mac Os 9 but newer wrote anything successfully.

Please don't PM about things that are not private.

Someones garbage is another man treasure...  ;D  >:(

Any G3 can benefit from a Acard even been ATA66... B&W were ATA33 onboard.
Looking for MacOS 9.2.4
