I've tried three different MixroAdvantage DVD burners (two 8X and one 4X) with my MachSpeed V6DP (Athlon 2400+) mainboard, but can't write to a DVD of any format.

I can read DVDs and write to CDs, but no luck writing DVDs (won't even burn a coaster).

After several months of effort and exchanging drives and updating the VIA driver/firmware, it looks like the mainboard's IDE controler is not compatible with the MicroAdvantage drives.

I'd appreciate hearing from anyone who is succesfully burning DVDs off a MachSpeed mainboard (especially a V6DP) and learning what drive(s) work with this setup.
