Macintosh SE and compatible CD Rom Drives / Drivers   Message List

Re: [MacDrivers] Re: Macintosh SE and compatible CD Rom Drives / Drivers

Yes! And more so, it is a good idea to burn CD's for the older machines at a slower rate, at least that's what I've found. Some old CD readers couldn't read anything burned on a CD burner, period. Better luck if you can find an old SCSI external CD burner, as these seem to work the best on the old Macs for reading CD-r media. I used to keep a couple around just for this reason.

Well....you do need to make sure you're not burning in HFS+/Mac OS Extended format as that won't read under 7.6, and that's the default under most things nowadays...although, I believe Toast will let you turn it off.

I've had the best luck, on older macs with older drives, burning ISO9660 "with HFS extension" which is a setting in Toast. Burning from the Finder or Disc Utility has been hit or miss, but even then, with a lot of the faster drive/media now, you have issues in the older/slower drives regardless.
