650M is standard, 700M is also available. > If I need a bigger HD can I just install a 1 or 2 Gb HD internally or > externally and have toast use that? Would I have to install toast on the > extra HD? a) yes b) no Toast can be anywhere. You don't even need to reading extension to burn, just the program. What I've done, though, is to put my burner in an external case with two bays, and put a hard drive in the other bay. The hard drive has Toast, and I can move the thing around and backup different machines with this one box. > Am I asking the wrong questions?

Some cd players have difficulty reading CD-R disks, and more have trouble reading CD-RW. Most will, though. I'd certainly recommend not trying to burn directly from MP3's on a 7200/75, as the machine probably wouldn't keep up with the burner. -- Dana [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
