| Help me buy a external CD burner (Color Classic) |
Posted by: mraroid on 2017-06-13 09:54:22
Hi...
I want to check the trading post here and maybe ebay. But I need to ask a few questions first.
I would like to buy a external CD (CD/DVD?) burner for my Color Classic II. I hope to upgrade my CC with a 575 logic board one day, but for now it is a CC II.
Can anyone recommend a burner to me? SCSI, but what kind? And what kind of speeds can I expect? Any brands or model numbers someone can suggest?
If you have something you think I could use, please contact me., I want to read up a little bit and then buy something.
Thanks

I may have a SCSI Yamaha burner that you may have, but I would have to check if it works with System 7.

For the most part you need to get a copy of Toast for 68K mac and see which drives are usable. I think pretty much any SCSI drive is supported so you can just buy an external SCSI enclosure and pop a burner of your choosing in there if you can find a complete one.

ArmorAlley... Thank you for the kind offer. My color classic boots to 7.6.1 and after a future upgrade I hope to run 8.1 on it as well. So if it will run under a classic OS like this, I am interested. Do you have pay pal? I can pay pal you shipping costs. You can send me the model number if you like and I can start digging around to see if it will run under 7.6. I don't care what speed it will burn, I just need something that will burn a CD.
Thanks!!

Thank you Unknown_K for your post. I did down load a copy of Toast, but it wanted a serial number. Clicking on the link to buy it, the link went nowhere.
I am confused by the many versions of toast that are available. Mostly I will be using my CC under 7.6.1. But in the future, I hope to install a LC 575 board and then I hope to install OS 8.1.
I have read about the file format that my Color Classic (under 7.6.1) uses called HFS. I know another file format is around called HFS+. Is OS 8.1 also HFS? If so maybe I can find a version of Toast that will run under OS 8.1.....
I will start looking around for Toast.
Thanks for the tip.
