![]() ![]() ![]() I also bought a CD-RW from the store, and loaded it on the 14r. I looked at the back of the CD and found out all of them had data on them. I found some of what Windows thinks are blank CDs, which however throws an error if I attempt to burn them (Windows Explorer, Windows Media Player, PowerISO and Roxio Burn all give errors). I found out that if you load any Audio disc, Civilization II thinks it's the music, and plays it. Now, Toast was not able to get the audio files mounted from the Civilization II disk (thus there is no music in Civ II by default). I've managed to transfer files over wireless from the 14r to the 6400, then use the Ethernet cable to transfer to the Mac through Appletalk in Basilisk II. Anyways, I got my 32-bit Inspiron 6400 back from repair, and it helps a lot in file transfering. ![]() I can also buy a flash drive card to use a USB flash drive which may or may not be readable on Windows. However, I would have to download any files I need. I can also get an AirPort router, connect it to the iBook and log in to a WiFi network to enable Internet access. I am now going to burn a blank CD in ISO format and I will test to see if the iBook would read it. I was about to dismiss that idea, in reason that I have not found a file system that the iBook can recognize, but I realized I have not tried the ISO and Joliet filesystems on the iBook yet. ![]() I could get a CD-RW, put the iso file in it together with an application that can handle ISO files (Disk Copy doesn't seem to be able to do that) and use that disk to transfer any future files. There are several more ideas that I haven't tried. If I were to get a CD-RW, it would then be a dilemma on how to lock the CD so the installation would commence. If I mount the disk in a virtual drive and then use the extfs function in Basilisk II, the folder is not locked, but any files that I attempt to copy into it claims that the file I'm copying is being used, despite being that these files can be copied to any other location with no problems. The retail CD mounts without any problems, but as my new ISO/Joliet cd image doesn't have a fixed size, Mac OS 7 in Basilisk II decides to lock the disk to prevent copying. I cannot change the file format of the image, so to get the files into an ISO or Joliet image, I would have to make a new image and copy the files there. Burning it into a blank disk doesn't help because the iBook does not recognize the disk despite it supposedly being formatted in HFS. I have a Mac OS 9 ISO file, which is in HFS. To use them in the iBook, it would have to be in HFS, HFS+, ISO or Joliet. So, at this point, I have a bunch of CD-Rs. I was rather surprised and worried when I found out that all PowerMac G3 machines can only read CDs and DVDs. I just found this link while searching around, and I have the exact same situation as him/her. I checked with Mactracker and it appears that, in standard configuration, all PowerMac G3 machines can only read CDs and DVDs. This is specially true for CD's that should be bootable. You can see which CD sessions are in the file and which data format they have.Īll of this doesn't guarantee that the person who made the. toast file in your burning program you can check what the characteristics of the file are. I know for sure Nero Burning can do that, as can many other programs. toast (they normally come from the CD-burning program Toast on a Mac) is burnt from within a Windows-based burning program, it will maintain the Mac CD format. When you burn them, you get a true copy of the original, whether it was of Mac or Windows origin. nrg files is to make a copy of an original CD with the characteristics intact. So if you start putting files on a CD from Windows, the CD will take on certain characteristics. The way you put data on them makes them formatted. ![]()
