Greetings all,
Thanks to a good sale via colleague Scott (thanks, Scott!) my B+W 450mhz G3
now has an Apple-ROMmed CD-RW/DVD drive in it. I already have Toast 5.1, but
I seem to recall that there was an OS-native (Jaguar) CD-burning utility in
it. Is such the case?
yes, you should be able to insert a blank CD and a dialog will come up and ask you what to do with it. "Open in finder" will put a CD icon on your desktop you can drag files to, then drag to the trash, whcih turns into the little radion sign burn icon, it burns the CD and you're good. Single sesions only, though. You can burn multi-session CD's with Disk Copy (iirc, I know you can in Panther)
Also, I vaguely remember that such a drive may need to be present as the OS
is installed for the disc-burning utilities to be loaded. Correct me on this
if such is incorrect.
Not sure. Some devices work that way (when I upgraded to a DVD-RW/CD-RW, I had to manually install the DVD player, but the DVD burning ability was built-in)
Check System Profiler, if the the CDRW says 'Burning Fully Supported' it should work.
