Software / Burning CDs on a PB1400 -TOAST 3?
February 08, 2010, 20:34 |
Hi all Thanks for all of that!! I'm off to look for a bigger hard drive (30gb) on ebay! I thought there was an 8gb limit on PB 1400 drives but obviously not. I appreciate the benefits of Appleworks but prefer (for reasons unclear to me) Clarisworks - perhaps its integration is like the way we think? I will definitely try Classilla and Eudora. Colin |

Hmmm So to install different os's I need to partition the drive? (Sorry if this sounds a stupid question!) Colin |

Thanks for all the advice. I may have been wrong then about Toast 4.x. I did find a very helpful article about cd burning on older Powerbooks at www.fortunecity.com/skyscraper/seagate/536/burningcds.html which also suggested Toast 4.x could work on these older books. My success may have been due to switching off Ramdoubler, rather than switching Toast! Ah well .... I will instal System 7 from the 1400 instal cd, which I recently bought. Do I have to uninstal 8.6 first? (I'd rather not, though I have the cd to reinstal if need be.) Again thanks for the help and advice. I'll hang around if I may! Colin |

Software / Burning CDs on a PB1400 -TOAST 3?

Well, success! I found Toast 3.5 at Macintosh Garden, a tremendous site with lots of vintage abandonware, apps and games. I burned my first CD tonight on the PB1400 (with a G3 233mh upgrade), though I find SCSI temperamental. I seem to have to switch ON the external SCSI recorder first, and switch OFF the 1400 first, otherwise I get various probs - a sad mac, or a locked up mac. And I can't burn on the fly at more than 2X. A full audio cd takes a not too bad 33 minutes. I have an internal ide cdr but Toast doesn't recognise it. I have heard that B's Recorder Gold would work with the internal drive but I can't lay my hands on an old version to try it. I have system 7 on a series of floppies and will try it. The idea of running lean, using software meant for the 1400 appeals to me. Any tips that I should follow with regard to the best software to use for word processing and graphics design? And in becoming leaner (and swifter?) do I lose any functionality? Colin |

Thanks Bill I'm new here, and still running 8.6, but intend to give System 7 a try. Will I lose anything? Back on topic, do you know of anywhere I can get Toast 3.5 or some recording software that will work on the 1400. Roxio are not helpful I believe. I have heard mention of B's Recorder Gold but can't find an old version. Colin |

Hi all I have a PB1400 and just for the hell of it would like to burn cds using an external scsi burner (I don't think internal burners work). I gather I need Toast 3 for this, as Toast 4 tells me I need SCSI Manager 4.3, which is not present on the trusty old 1400. Any ideas? Colin |
