They're cheap and plentiful...I use one for an iTunes server so I don't waste resources on my PB. It sits headless in a closet with its audio outputs going to a powered speaker set; I use Timbuktu to control it when I want to listen to some 'toons. I have more in the hard drive than I do in the rest of the computer!

Dan,
AFAIK, You'll have to boot from OS 9 to get at those files. I tried to do this myself a while back, and found that a real OS9 boot was (apparently) the only way to access those discs. I researched this and asked around on various mail lists and no one could tell me different - I eventually succumbed to booting in 9 and reburning the data. If you manage to find another way, please share, I'm sure there are others out there with the same need.
Of course, you'll need to find a machine other than your PB to do it.

We gots dozens of CDs here, in UDF format, that can't be read on our brand new PowerBook... *grumble*
Apple's UDF driver only supports the older UDF versions. For CDs written this century, one normally needs a UDF 1.5 compliant driver.
Roxio (who owns UDF, I guess) has a 1.5 driver for OS 8/9. But it doesn't work in Classic? And apparently they're irked at Apple for trying to crush their disc authoring/burning business... So they have no driver for OS X.
Anyone know where to get such a beastie?
Thx, - Dan.
