You don't need lots of RAM for burning CDs with Toast. I used it with 16 MB and it went fine in double speed. Are you folks using SCSI, or what? Of course. On Vintage Macs there's no IDE (except some Powerbooks and the P630, did I forget something?), USB or Firewire. Grüße Götz -- Web:

From the replies to my posting about using a CD burner on something like IIci, it seems that it can be done very well! Good to know, thank you! If I run into a 2-speed SCSI model, I know what to do now. -mart -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and... Small Dog
