Can someone recommend a good burning application for OS X?  I have
Toast 3.5.7 running in OS 9.1, but I can't seem to get it to work in 
OS
X.

Thanks

Kevin
Neither the old Toast 3.X, 4.x or the early Toast Titanium will run 
under
OSX. Toast 5.21 will, and is very good. It's just been upgraded to 
Toast
Titanium 6.

There is also a pice of software from NTI called DragonBurn for MacOS 9 
or X.  I downloaded the trial version and tested it with my external 
Yamaha 4260 (4x2x6) CD-RW.  While it works where the native support for 
the drive is missing, it lacks features such as support for ISO and DMG 
files.  I have emailed them regarding support for the two files, and 
they said they will be adding ISO support to the program.

The main reason I mentioned this software is that it is only $50, 
compared to the $80-100 for Toast.

Also, Accelerate Your Mac had an article regarding a patch for native 
CD burning for X.  From looking at it, it seems to make X think that 
the drive is another model.  As an example, I selected the Yamaha 4416 
(4x4x16) since it was the closest model to it in the list.  I tried 
that and now my slow burner is fully supported by X and I don't need to 
buy Toast or DragonBurn for now.

If anyone is interested in a copy of the patch, email me privately.
