Mkirkpat,
In my opinion, There is no need for a swap.
Your Plextor PX-W4824A is a great CDG burner, perhaps the best in the market for CDG. It works perfectly with Hoster.
I don’t know which demo version you are running but support for the PX-4824A was just recently implemented.
If you are trying an old Demo version, your burner may not be recognized. I don’t know if there is a newer Demo version. If there isn’t, one will be out soon.
Rest assured that the latest Hoster version 2.011 supports that drive without a glitch.
