drag-and-drop to CD-RW still unavailable for macintosh? "random erase" with fixed packets, enabling intuitive file write & erase operations to UDF 1.5 volumes, was rumored to exist via: - MacOS itself - Adaptec DirectCD 2.0 - other third party drivers yet, MacOS 8.5 came and went with read-only UDF 1.5, adaptec is totally mum on whether DirectCD 2.0 will ever make it to the macintosh, and firms like Software Architects claim ignorance about mac drivers for other than DVD-RAM. in addition (as i too use a yamaha 4260 / apple combination), drivemakers themselves don't seem to feel responsible for providing this software. since much content is developed on apple equipment, quicktime or otherwise, i find it hard to believe that the market is too small here, as millions of increasingly interchangeable erasable CDs approach $5, readable on any iMac... please feel welcome to post here any industry gossip about timetables for enabling such a basic function.
