How do I write Macintosh CD images to physical CD's?

Not sure if you mean at the new or old end of the process, but...
A SCSI CDRW will read CDRWs obviously, but it is even more difficult to get a non-apple CD drive to boot a CD
I just burn lots of CDRs, they're still fairly cheap, but be warned, some brands work better than others in old drives (some barely work at all), so buy small packs until you find a brand that works well.
OK, I have a related question: I'm planning to put 3x 650MB Debian .iso's onto a single 2.1GB SCSI HD (an actual SCSI HD) as a single image. There's a web page telling me how to merge the .iso's:
wiki.debian.org
However, my PowerBook 1400 is my only properly working SCSI Mac. So, the workflow is:
DebianIsoDownloads -> Mac mini i5 -> CF Card -> PowerBook 1400c -> External SCSI HD.
Now, with Mac OS X I could use
Macintosh Garden gives me some choices:
DiskCopy 4.2
DiskCopy 6
DART
ShrinkWrap 2.1 & 3.5.1
MountImage
Copy II Mac
ImageMaster
MungeImage
Pretty sure DiskCopy x.y isn't the right thing, but I'm unfamiliar with the others. I've got CDT on my PB1400 too and the CDT extension loaded, but the app just keeps crashing with a type 3 error.
Any suggestions?

Now, with Mac OS X I could use
dd to copy the .iso's block by block. I'm not sure what I should use with Mac OS 8.1. I certainly don't want a partition table getting in the way on the SCSI HD! What would you use?Macintosh Garden gives me some choices:
