Interesting, but do you think it would work on a mac lc iii? That's the
fastest mac I own. Maybe, though, I could see if I could use one of the
school's macs. Problem is, don't the G4's and G5's lack SCSI ports? Or, is
there a version of toast that will run on OS 7.5.5 and make a *.bin file
that I could transfer to my PC for burning purposes?
I think with Nero on the PC there is a way to access mac HFS partitions on
the SCSI/IDE bus. I might drop a SCSI card in the comp with the burner and
try that. I doubt any support for ProDOS partitions, however ;-)
