| Creating CD-Roms in OSX that can be read by a 68k Mac |
Posted by: Simon_Carr on 2016-03-15 13:36:36
Now I have my Centris 650 up and running in a totally gorgeous way, I've now hit a new problem that I didn't anticipate. I've spent an hour or so going round in circles courtesy of Google without much joy, hence I am posting again!
The short question is "Is it possible to burn CD-R's using OSX (either 10.5.8 on my G4 or 10.11.3 on my i7) that can be read by my CD drive in my Centris?"
If someone can give a positive answer, the inevitable follow up is "HOW?"
Any advice gratefully received, as I would like to get to the bottom of this one, as I hoped I could use the CD drive in the Centris as a bridge between modern macs and my older Classic and (hopefully if my wife doesn't notice) future older Macs?
Cheers,
Simon

I'd make sure they're burned at 1 or 2x for starters.

Adaptec Toast/JAM on 10.4/10.5.
It will burn CDs under CD-FS format, which is standard on Mac and PCs or you can select Mac OS option under that. Just use the "Data" copy option for it.

****SECOND FACEPALM MOMENT THIS WEEK****
Okay, I'm clearly suffering from some sort of stupidity disease... Having tried and failed to burn a Mac OS Standard disk image earlier this evening using Disk Utility, which set me off around the wonderful world of Google, I have tried again and it has worked fine, apart from a warning about rebuilding Desktop files which I'm going to politely ignore. I'm assuming the problem was with the speed of writing; having slowed down the write speed to x4, it is fine.
I have clearly been spoiled by OSX, and trying to get back into System 7 is a steeper learning curve than I expected....
Apologies....

Well it's good to know you got it working. Never be embarrassed to learn something new 🙂

Its ok, I made a system 7 OS disk years ago on CDR with installers for 7.6 and below but burned it in OS 9 and when put in a 7 machine all that shows up is a simpletext file saying this cannot be read by a non OS 9 machine.
