Does The IODD ST400 Work With Mac OS 9?

[mcbeav]

I'm considering buying an IODD ST400 virtual USB CD drive to load games on an iMac G3 / G4, but curious if anyone has tried to use one with Mac OS 9, and if it works with Mac OS 9. I'm wondering if it shows up as a USB CD drive.

Googled the device it’s a USB 3.0 drive, good chance not compatible with an iMac with USB 1.1 and terribly slow if it did work. Virtual CD images are good saved to a HD, maybe consider bumping up internal storage to < 120GB should store many images?

For anyone wondering or looking in the future, the IODD ST400 does work perfect with Mac OS 9.2.2. Acts as an external CD drive.

Can the ST400 handle CDs with audio tracks?

Give me just a day or 2, and I'll test that out for you. Out of town right now.

Thank you! Let me know if you need images to test it with.

That would be helpful. I can test it out now, but if you could help provide some images or point to where I can grab some to test. Thanks!

The first example of a mixed mode CD I could think of was the original release of Warcraft II. Download #4 here appears to be a bin/cue image of the CD. Download #3 on the same page appears to be a .toast image of the same disc, but I though I had previously read that .toast images could only contain ISO data tracks? Maybe someone who knows more about this could answer that question.
