.. . . it reads just fine but when I try to burn a disk it quits
after about 40% of burning 16 37meg .tif files.

It's a Memorex 52-24-52.

I have tried burning 1 file with the same results. Also tried burning
..jpg files - same results.

Your help will be appreciated.

With the old Ricoh mp7040, that symptom required a "lube job". But
rather than trying to resurrect the drive, suggest get a new drive:

Liteon 52x:

LG GSA-4163B:

If the drive is a Ricoh, this was suggested:

=========================
From: dekka
Date: 12/4/01

Due to the inadequate lubrication of mechanical parts of the
Ricoh 7080 write failures and/or lockups of your computer may occur.
Take the unit out of the computer, remove the bezel, the lower cover
and the top cover. (in that order)
Eject the loading tray by pushing against a plastic lever with a small
screwdriver, just below the loading tray, situated at approx. one
third from the right hand side.
Next you need to remove a metal plate, approx. 5 x 12 cm with a
plastic CD hub in the center, by removing 2 small screws.

Then, viewing from the front side of the burner, a lead screw is
visible on the right hand side of the laser unit as well as two
slide bars, one left and one right.

The far end of the lead screw has a plastic gear attached.
The parts that require lubrication are:
1. The lead screw
2. The two slide bars
3. The plastic gear

Apply some light grease (from my previous experience with lubing the
Ricoh 7040/7060 models I know that industrial vaseline will do the
job just fine, but most people appear to prefer using some kind of
Teflon lube gel which should be available from Radio Shack) and after
reassembling and reinstalling the unit, your Ricoh 7080 may/will
perform flawlessly again.
