Hacking Toast?

[tk4two1]

I just got a new 40x12x40 CD burner and I open toast to burn a CD to find that I can only burn at 32x Max. I checked roxio's site and my burner is not listed as a supported drive but its little brother the 32x is. So, my question is if anyone knows where I can change the driver to 40x. I looked through the package contents of Toast 5.2 and found nothing that would identify a batch of drivers.

does iTunes recognize it correctly? if it doesn't it's an OS X problem. I had to hack the apple drivers when I first got my 32x Lacie Drive.

If your firewire CD-R/CD-RW drive isn't supported by Jaguar but is in a family which has some supported drives, you may be able to enable system-wide support. For example, I have a TDK VeloCD 32x10x40 drive which is unsupported; however, the VeloCD 24x10x32 is supported.
Browse to /System -> Library -> Frameworks -> DiscRecording.framework -> Versions -> A -> Resources -> DevicePlugIns and look for [YourBrandName]CDR.device-plugin. Load the file into HexEdit or some other hex editor and scan through for an identifier code for a supported CDR drive. For example, I searched for CDRW2410 and changed CDRW241032B to CDRW321040B. You can find out what the identifier string for your CDRW is if you have Roxio Toast; it's at the bottom of the main window for most drives.

Finder, Disc Copy, and iTunes all work now (all three previously reported no compatible CDR drive could be found). They even know I have a 32x drive, not the 24x drive whose identifier I replaced.
