If I was to shove a SCSI burner in my Quadra 610 would there be software to use to burn a cd?Jeremy "I'll see you on the Dark Side Of The Moon"

Absolutely. My sis uses a Q950 for her graphic art work, and burns it all off onto CD using Toast - and thats with an external SCSI burner. I can't see a reason why an internal one would have problems... It's an 8x burner, but works most reliably at 2x speed - probably due to a fragmented HD that doesn't quite keep up with higher speeds when combined with it only being an 040, and external SCSI. dana

I used to burn CDs on a Preforma 550. I had to turn off most of the extensions and burn at 1X but it did work. I think I used Toast 3 but I don't remember the exact version number.AnubisTTP

If you can't find an older 68k version of Toast, there's also another 68k CD authoring app that I use, I think it's called NeroMax.666th poster and 666th thread-creator

hey Dana!If you could get us a copy of that version of Toast your sis uses and get it on the Hotline server, we'd all be VERY grateful... secondly...
In order to burn at greater than 2x speeds, your best bet is to have this setup: 1)A burning software that will do a "SCSI TO SCSI" copy
2) a hard drive that is partitioned to be the exact size of a CD (so, 695 MB or 645)... preferably 5400 rpm
3) a SCSI CD Burner on the SAME SCSI bus as the hard drive With that, your processor get's out of the way. See, most SCSI burners are "smart" SCSI devices, as are most (if not all but old or really cheap ones) hard drives. 2 Mart SCSI devices can talk to each other and trasfer data with little or no CPU interfearance. So if you are useing Toast, then while your system will still not be usable when you burn CDs, by doing a SCSI to SCSI connection, you can get 4 or even 6x speeds on a 68k Macs. This is because the devices take care of the dat aprocess, not the processor. ~Marchie ~Chaplain Marchie Holder of the Compact Mac -

Can you burn audio cds that way? Sounds like an excellent plan for data, but will it do audio?{ candyPunk }

I think dana is probably talking about toast 3.5.x which did not handle audio recording very well. adaptec "jam" was the audio recording utility. i think you could make a backup cd to keep in the car (wouldn't want a commercial cd to melt, or get stolen would we :-) from a standard audio cd using scsi copy mode, but i don't remember.jt p.s. marchie, check your freakin' mailbox and get back to me!
