I replaced the DVD burner with a blu ray burner and installed the toast add on to see how far it goes. Works pretty good but you need space and patience

1) ... so Toast CD Reader extension allow the BR drive to work properly? It can read CDROMs, DVDs and BR disks?
2 ) Apple CD/DVD driver failed to do the same?

3 ) Toast Titanium (the standalone Recorder App) could write a BR disk?
4 ) Toast Titanium (the standalone Recorder App) could write a CD ROMs DVDs disks using a BR drive?

5 ) Have you tested some rewritable (CD ROMs and DVDs) ?
6 ) Have you tested Dual Layer DVDs?

7 ) Could the Mac boot from a CDROM inserted into this BR drive?

8 ) What are the Brand and model of the drive you have tested?

drive is hard to find now if you ever find 1 take it.
burning a normal 25g disc takes around 45 minutes. have not tested 50g and up

Os X has no relevance here.
Can you please test this BR drive on a Mac Os 9 Machine?
... other wise, this post will be deleted to avoid further time loss and confusion ...
