Important: For information about Mac® OS X, please go to http://www.iomega.com/europe/support/english/documents/10967e.html

Iomega® CD-RW, ZipCD™ 650, or DVD drives should be detected by Mac OS 9.2 - 9.2.x, but they can only burn CDs or DVDs if compatible software is used. The drive will be seen as a regular CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive until CD burning software is installed.

Iomega CD-RW (ZipCD™ 650) drives

The versions of Iomega HotBurn® and Adaptec® Toast™ that shipped with the Iomega CD-RW (ZipCD 650) drives will not work with Mac OS 9.2 - 9.2.x. There are a few options you may choose when using your drive with Mac OS 9.2 - 9.2.x:

Iomega now offers a solution for Iomega CD-RW (ZipCD 650) drive customers who are using Mac OS 9.2.x or Mac OS 10.2 or newer (not supported in Mac OS 10.1.x). For more information, please go to http://www.iomega.com/software/discribe.html
Use the CD burning software included with the operating system. For information about CD burning software included with the Mac OS operating system (such as Disc Burner), please search the Apple support Web site at http://www.info.apple.com/ for additional information.
Use third-party CD burning software.

Important: Iomega recommends that you download the latest Disk Recording update (version 1.3.5 or higher) using the Software Update option located in System Preferences.

Note: Most Iomega CD-RW, ZipCD 650, and DVD drives work with Discribe. For more information about supported drives, please visit the supported drive list at http://www.charismac.com/Support/Discribe/discribedevice.html
