But, on the subject of OS 8.6, I'm curious. I had read somewhere -- unfortunately I can't recall where, that 8.6 and up don't get along too well with a Mac 7200. What do you -- and other folks on this list, have to say about that?
Mac OS 8.6 runs just fine on the Power Mac 7200.
Personally, I really like 8.6. Very stable. Lots of technology improvements between 8.1 and 8.6... Well worth having.

And, is it possible that any of you direct me to free CD burning Mac software I can d/l off the web somewhere?
hum. As far as I know, there is no free burning software that runs on OS 8. Apple's Disk Burner is free, but requires OS 9.1 and has a very limited number of supported drives.
Perhaps an older vers of CharisMac's Discribe might work? The new version requires OS 8.6, but an older might do it. And Discribe comes as a "demo" that will burn 5 CDs. http://www.charismac.com/
I have Toast 3.5.7, which will run on OS 8.1. Was going to offer to trade you for Toast 5.... but I found
(1) The Smart & Friendly CD-R8020 is not listed as being supported by Toast 3.
(2) According to
http://rpp.roxio.com/drives/?page=supported_drives<r=S
Your drive isn't support until Toast 4.05
At least Toast 4 will run on OS 8.1... Perhaps there's someone out there that will trade you for it. I recommend joining the LowEndMac Swap list for that.
