firewire cdrw not burning

[dom_from munich]

i tried to make my firewire cdrw (formac for mac) working on osx. osx recognizes the cd but it does not burn. i do not want to install toast for mac osx - to expensive in my eyes. i have read that toast includes the driver for that cdrw.
is there any other way to make it work? any GNU-software? just a driver?

does anyone can help?

What exactly do you do ? You insert the CD and open it in Finder ? (BTW, what version of OS X do you use?). In order to burn files, you must drag them onto the CD icon. Alternatively, use Disk Copy to burn disk images.
