| Does The IODD ST400 Work With Mac OS 9? |
Posted by: mcbeav on 2024-05-28 14:01:55
I'm considering buying an IODD ST400 virtual USB CD drive to load games on an iMac G3 / G4, but curious if anyone has tried to use one with Mac OS 9, and if it works with Mac OS 9. I'm wondering if it shows up as a USB CD drive. |

Googled the device it’s a USB 3.0 drive, good chance not compatible with an iMac with USB 1.1 and terribly slow if it did work. Virtual CD images are good saved to a HD, maybe consider bumping up internal storage to < 120GB should store many images? |

For anyone wondering or looking in the future, the IODD ST400 does work perfect with Mac OS 9.2.2. Acts as an external CD drive. |

Can the ST400 handle CDs with audio tracks? Give me just a day or 2, and I'll test that out for you. Out of town right now. |

Thank you! Let me know if you need images to test it with. That would be helpful. I can test it out now, but if you could help provide some images or point to where I can grab some to test. Thanks! |

The first example of a mixed mode CD I could think of was the original release of Warcraft II. Download #4 here appears to be a bin/cue image of the CD. Download #3 on the same page appears to be a .toast image of the same disc, but I though I had previously read that .toast images could only contain ISO data tracks? Maybe someone who knows more about this could answer that question. |
