I've still got the docs for Toast 3.5 It says it will work on an 030 Mac

with 2mb RAM running OS 7.0 I never tried it with that slow a machine as
I had a PPC when I bought it.

I can't say how the PCs software would work in that situation but the
idea behind not mounting the drive and using device copy is that the
computer soesn't have to understand the format, it's doing a blind SCSI
copy.

I think there were a couple of people that were making ProDOS CDs with
PCs. You might try doing a search of old posts on that.
