I thought you would like to know that the new driver update works with my LaCie 52x24x52x CD-RW Firewire Drive with Mitsumi mechanism. I downloaded the update and was able to use Retrospect Express to back up my data just as I had hoped. It appears to work fine. I am now a happy camper.

I was given a LaCie 52x24x52x CD-RW FW Drive for use in backing up on my Mac with system 9.1. I upgraded to Retrospect Express 5.0 because the Dantz supported drive list indicated this would make Retrospect Express work with my new drive. Now I find that not only am I out $29.95 for the upgrade, but that I must wait for the time, if ever, that a driver is available for a Mitsumi CR-487ETE FW drive mechanism which is apparently at the heart of my LaCie product. Will such a driver be available in the near future or should I go back to backing up on 100 MB Zip disks, a tedious process that I was trying to escape? If the driver is never to be available, I would apprectiate the return of the cost of the Retrospect Express 5.0 upgrade as I feel that the Dantz supported drive list was misleading.
