Hi Steven,
I'm willing to bet money your problem is that the CDs you are burning
on your iBook are in HFS+ format.
your Classic II will not read HFS+ formatted volumes.
I'm also willing to bet you're using Toast 6.x or later. When you go
to burn your CD, click on the "Mac only" button (like you said you
tried). After doing that, there should be an option there to burn in
"HFS Standard". You might have to click the "Advanced" tab to get it
to show up, but it's there.
Make sure the "HFS Standard" box is checked, and you should be good to
go.

Hi all,
I have a mac classic II with an 8X's external cd drive that works well
for all commercial cd's that I have tried
(all cd's mount and run fine). I needed to transfer a few files from
my ibook to my classic that are too large for
a 1.4 mb floppy. However if I burn these files onto a CDR they will
not mount on my classic II (I get a dialog
box offering to format the cd). I know that CRRW's are incompatible
with older Macs but have never had trouble
mounting CDR's that I had burned to transfer files. I have tried both
Mac only and Mac/PC formats with no success.
Any help/ideas appreciated
Thanks,
Steve
