Hi Colin,
have tried to burn at slowest speed, but it takes no notice and decides 
itself anyway.
On completion it says it has done the job successfully, but it's idea 
and everything else are
not the same. I have tried both "burn directly" and without, same 
result. Now have 12 coasters.
Thanks anyway.
