I will have to agree with this. I have yet to make a coaster with my Yamaha
as well. Great piece of hardware.

Yamaha. Don't get a Phillips or an HP. I just got a settlement from a class
action
suit against Phillips CD recorder.
I don't know how Mac's work (PC here), but I have dual 80 mb/sec SCSI HD's
and the
Yamaha on the same chain with a couple of other things and an active
terminator
(not passive) on the end. But I have the scanner on a second SCSI card all
to
itself. I try to keep all internal and external SCSI cables short. Never
created a
"coaster" even at 8x with this setup. Tips? If you can, write a disk image
file
first instead of recording on the fly. Don't record at the CD-R(W)'s top
speed if
you don't have to. Turn off apps running in backgound and defrag your disks.
