Mac Firewire CD-RW question..

Hi folks, i'm not a mac user, I'm actually a hard core PC user..
But, i put together this firewire cd-rw for my girlfriend's G4 and i'm having some problems...
It's a brand new Acer cd-rw in an ADS technologies firewire case..
If i scan the buses, it properly id's the drive as being the 20x10x40, etc, etc.. but it always says that there is no disk in the drive, no matter what.
her firewire hard drive works fine on the other hand.
The drive is set to a master (like it should be) on the jumpers.
funny thing is though, if i turn on the firewire cd-rw drive with any cd in it, it says that the computer cannot read that media or disk or something and actually asks me if i want to eject it or initialize it. It even reads the size of the cd.. nothing will mount.
The computer is running OS 9.2 and the disc burner software isnt seeming to do anything... a lot of people seem to be using Toast, but i dont have $90 to use up for that :(
Any ideas?
Thanks...
