Yes, I remember when the Ethernet support was first added to B2. It was
a great day for anyone needing to transfer files easily.
It's been some time since I did it, but I have been able to burn CDs in
B2 by using the ASPI/SCSI tab to directly configure a burner as a drive
for Toast. Your PC may need to have an older burner for it to be
recognize though, I was using an old 8x8x32 CD-RW drive at the time. I
haven't succeeded in even getting it to use my current new SATA DVD-RW
drive as a CD reader, much less burner of anything. Was a great way to
get bootable CDs burned for my CDable Macs (I made a Super Disc which
booted to a universal 7.5.5, I think, and had several versions of system
software available to install, along with some essential software and
utils like Stuffit 5.5. Enough to bootstrap any system into a fully
usable system without having to download/transfer stuff.
It's also great for some of the very demanding games that were released
towards the end of the 68k lifestyle that ran well enough on Quadras,
but could have used that extra bump. The A-10 games come to mind.
