CD's being burned for the machine that can't read them are being burned in "Mac OS Extended"; i.e., HFS+ If they are burned in "Mac OS Standard" (HFS) the Mac running 8.6 should be able to read them. If you are using Toast 5, as I am, this info is in the help file under "Making Data CD's" or some such. HTH Terry -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
