Lacie Mac OS X 10

Vista and Mac OS X 10.3 or later.What's new in LaCie LightScribe Labeler. Its plug & play and driver-free for Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows. It couldnt be easier to install and use. Even more so that LaCie offered no support on this drive whatsoever! The drive is not manufactured by LaCie at all, it's made by Y-E Data, a company in Japan. Unfortunately, even though I exhaustively researched the available USB floppy drives for Mac, I never came across anything that said the LaCie doesn't support double-sided (2DD) Mac formatted disks, only high-density (2HD).I bought a LaCie USB Floppy along with my G4/450 DP, and of course the fact that OS X dosn't support it is rather frustrating. I just got LaCie USB Pocket Foppy drive today, to use with a PowerBook G4 running OS 10.3.4.

But current version of Apple's Mac OS X driver has problem with mount and un-mount operation. Just now, I received a mail from Y-E Data: Apple will support USB FDD on Mac OS X with built-in driver. There are two other variants one made for the early iMacs, and one for Windows. They call it 'USB Floppy Disk Drive FlashBuster-U' and 'USB FDD SNAP-ON Color Cover Model'. Localized versions in English, French, Italian, German, Spanish and. Multi-drive LightScribe printing: now you can print the same design on multiple LightScribe CD or DVD at the same time, using several LightScribe drives connected to your Mac.

It supports 2DD and 2HD PC formatted disks. Unfortunately, even though I exhaustively researched the available USB floppy drives for Mac, I never came across anything that said the LaCie doesn't support double-sided (2DD) Mac formatted disks, only high-density (2HD). Sasaya for his help! -)I just got LaCie USB Pocket Foppy drive today, to use with a PowerBook G4 running OS 10.3.4. Please wait Apple's next update.Yoshi Sasaya Y-E DATA INC.It's not a perfect solution, but it does help a bit. Floppy will mount on your Mac.But, you could not un-mount and change floppy disk.Apple release Mac OS update 10.0.4, we already test it but, it has still problem.

I know this thread is old, but I figured if I found it while trying to solve my problem, maybe what I learned can save someone in a similar situation some time and frustration. Otherwise, I guess I'll return it and see if I can find another USB drive that will support those disks. On their website it does say that 2DD Mac disks aren't supported, which if i remember correctly was why I didn't buy that brand in the first place.Anyway, I submitted a tech support request on LaCie's website to see if they have a software update that might allow it to read Mac 2DD disks. Wasn't until I came across this thread on macosxhints.com that I learned that the drives are actually made by Y-E Data.
