    Thanks. I assume by speed=4 you mean 4x? I have been burning at 10x
    under 9.1, sometimes down to 6 or 8 when I don't feel so lucky.
    It will have to wait til after the holidays at this point. Too much
    else going on to concentrate on building another system on the G3. I
    may have to do it on an external drive so as to leave my internal one
    alone.
