Installation:
I removed old Yamaha 4416s and i placed 8424s. It has default SCSI ID 3 and termination on. If you have more devices on Scsi card you maybe change SCSI ID number. Don't worry.. Yamaha 8424s manual describes very good how change SCSI ID number and termination..After boot CDR-W intentified as Yamaha 8424s into both DOS & Windows.

I unchecked Auto Insert notification, checked Sync Data Transfer (as manual suggests) and reboot. Yamaha 8424s was October 1999 model with v1.0d firmware. All latest software version (Prassi PrimoCD Pro 8 v1.1.317, Nero v4.0.7.0, DiscJuggler v1.05.395, CDRWin v3.8a) supported Yamaha 8424s..All was set and time to start tests..
