Well, I've had the chance to get the Yamaha up and running

I have my Yamaha running too. Thanks for the tip, it was a great price.

I reactivated my Mylex SCSI card for the install and sure enough had the same strange error message when booting to MSDOS mode..*unable to write to ebios??*. I have been booting back and forth with no problems for quite some time without the card.

I put back the Adaptec 2920 card..in a different PCI slot..and no problem..no ebios error message..AND the new Yamaha drive writes to the cheapo media that I thought was the problem with the RICOH drive.

I burned a couple of CDs but have not had much time to play with it yet.

I recently installed an 8X Smart and Friendly CDR drive in a work machine. In the box was a marking pen that indicated it was specifically made for marking on CD media. I have often wondered if the standard marking pen I have used in the past eats into the media.

I do not want to make too many CDs until I get the labeling issue resolved. I think the next time I buy media it will be media with the writing surface already on the disc.

A little slow around here lately. Hopefully everyone is making money...hang in
