Re: Toast 5.2 and 10.2.8

[James S Jones]

I've used a 2930 with 10.1 through 10.2.6. I never got around to 
dealing with 10.2.8 on this machine, as 10.3 was released so quickly 
afterward (though I haven't installed it on here, yet, either). There 
were some issues with older ROM versions on the card, so that might be 
an issue. I also see that you say you installed Adaptec drivers. This 
isn't needed. Kernel extensions for all supported Adaptec cards is 
installed by the OS. I've heard reports of problems occurring after the 
standalone drivers available from Adaptec are installed.

I have a LaCie/Matsushita 4X CD-R that works fine with Toast under 
10.2.x. Since almost any Mac you could be putting a 2930 in that 
doesn't already have a built-in CD burner is capable of booting OS 9, 
have you tried that route? You'll need to install the appropriate 
extensions to get Toast to run in OS 9, but it might even clear up the 
problem with Toast trying to reload that disk image it chokes on.

My Toast work great in OSX.

Thanks for the replies; so, does SCSI work well in 10.2.8? 
Specifically,  the Adaptec 2930 is showing up as "card D" unknown" 
despite having installed the 2930 drivers for 10.2.8.  Typical?  It's 
supposedly supported.

So far, after repairing permissions voodoo,  a couple tries of 
trashing all things Toast (5.2 for X)  have resulted in the drive 
being found and recognized but locked up at burn, Toast failing to run 
at all, just hanging, and Toast never finding a drive at all.  I have 
3 different external SCSI CD-R and -RW drives here- Yamaha CDR-100, a 
new model Yamaha -RW, and a portable Rocoh -RW.  All of which work 
just fine.

I'm off to put a SCSI PCMCIA controller in my old Win98 P-133 
(something that won't work in Apple powerbooks of that era); download 
the 265 meg .iso via wireless (something that DOES work in Apple 
powerbooks from that era only if you limit yourself to non-cardbus 
cards); and burn the .iso that way at 4X (something impossible with 
Apple powerbooks from then).  Sometimes I wonder why I bother with 
Apple stuff.

Feedback on what the SCSI should look like if it works yet in X.2.8  
appreciated.  They've only had X out for years now...
