This is a long shot as it's nowhere to be seen on any of the usual places online but maybe someone has it on a nas or something..
I have an optical media international Cd Recording system. I'm looking to find a copy of Quicktopix for Macintosh to make it run as it was intended. Toast works but it's a bit new and I'd love to have the original experience.
It's just a CDU-921 in a box with some alternative branding but still a great example of early cd authoring which is one of my strange edge case interests.

I had a little look and the only thing I can find at all related is a Windows 95 version here: https://archive.org/details/pegasuswin95 |

Heya yes I saw that one but it's specifically the mac version I'm after. I'll give the windows version a try but the device is hooked up to my quadra on a more permanent basis. |

It was pricey software at the time, likely going to be hard to track down, but some user may have an old copy lying about.
Sadly US copyright does not actually allow for 'abandonware', it's not even really a grey area. |

Absolutely, the Quicktopix drive I have certainly wasn't cheap either.. Or media at the time for that matter.
It does work perfectly with Toast and CD Masterlist so it's happily purring away but I'd love to use the original. I really ought to recap it actually. Might do that in coming weeks. |

Was spelunking through some old disk images just now and found a copy lying about. It doesn't get past the splash screen before complaining about an initialization error, probably because it's running in an emulator and the drive isn't attached. Maybe it will work for you with real hardware. |
