cd copier

[richardbulch]

I have purchased an Iomega cd copier with usb connection unfortunately I cannot get it to work. I allready have an Iomega usb zip drive which works fine. It states in the iomega box that certain motherboards may not be suitable. My pc is fitted with a pentium BX Microstar by MSI any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

"some USB controllers or motherboards may not support all types of USB devices" is like saying some cars may not drive on all roads... which ones? Why not?

USB is fairly standard across mobos.. thats the whole point of it.

this is their help page for cdrw: http://www.iomega.com/support/cdupred.html

there is a firmware update/software: http://www.iomega.com/datahandler/servlet/dataprocess/driverlist?database=steerdown

this is w98, so if yours is not you may have to reselect.

Personally, i would dump it and get some other make! thats just my opinion!

IMHO
