Before I moved the CD-Burner over to a PM7200 I had it connected to a 
Q840AV.  It could burn at 8X with plenty of head room according to 
the simulation mode.  I only burnt one coaster and I still don't 
quite know why.  I set my system up with a 1Gb HD for the software 
and a 2Gb drive for mastering CDs.  This way I could run a 
defragmenter on the Mastering drive or simply erase it occasionally. 
I think that avoiding disk fragmentation is probably the most 
important step in getting good CDs out of a 68K machine.  Memory 
fragmentation would either leave insufficient room to run Toast or 
not as much space for buffers but otherwise wouldn't impact CD 
burning.

Re: CD burning on a Q950

If I might pipe in with an opinion, please allow me to submit the
following. When burning CDs with a Q950, if the burner software allows
for slowing down recording speed, then by all means, do it! Burn at the
lowest speed possible, and of course, with no other applications running
in the background. I've made a wheel barrow full of high-tech coasters
by trying to burn at 16x and even 8x. 4x should be about right.

As a matter of fact, it's not really a bad idea to just restart the
computer before you burn any CDs at all. That way you know your RAM is
clean and unfragmented. This is just my two cents' worth, but its also
been a sad, repeated experience as well.

Right you are, Kyle.

I believe that Toast 4.12 was the last version to work on 68k.

I certainly use it on 68k, both on real macs and under b2 in windows.

3.5.x for 68K. Perhaps 4.x would work if your Q950 was upgraded to PPC.

4.x would be best, but OWC had 3.5.7 for about $5 a while back, which might be
a better deal.

CD burning on a Q950

[Robert J. Johansen]

Dear quadraphiles:

I just acquired an HP 9600 external SCSI CD-RW. I got it on eBay for what I
thought was a good deal.  It came with the cables, but no software. 

What do I need to make this work? I'd like to burn using my Q950 under OS 8.1,
as well as be able to hook it up to one of my newer machines. Will standard
Mac drivers work with it, or do I need to use one of the hacked drivers? On
the HP support site for this model, there were no Mac drivers listed, just
Windows. 

I know I need Toast or the equivalent, but which version?

Thanks,

Rob Johansen
