I've been a Linux user for a long time, but like any good geek always willing to take in a mac. only one I had for the longest time was a classic, but recently acquired a powermac 7200/120 currently running a very gibbled OS 8.1 install so I figured I would join here and attempt to get the machine usable.

Hello and welcome!

First thing you should do is attempt to acquire a copy of Mac OS 7.6.1.

I've got a copy of 7.6 but it is in .toast format and I don't have any OSX machines. is there anyway to burn a toast on Linux or windows?

EZ CD Creator(?) is the Roxio software for Windows. It can probably burn the image. It is possible to create a .toast image on a Mac that CD Creator can not handle, so that is not a 100% certain.

You will probably find a broader range of responses if you ask questions in the hardware and software areas of the forum.

Toast V3 and V4 work with System 7 and if you were to install either of these versions you might be able to work with the .toast image. I have not worked with either of these versions in some time and can not provide a definitive answer.

A .toast image file differs from other image files in that Toast adds a wraper to more generic image type so that Toast knows how to work with it. Beyond the wraper is just a more generic image file, that might be an iso, a dmg or any of an number of other formats.

I believe .toast = .iso

All you'll lose is one cd, just rename the extension on a PC. Use Nero or something that will write RAW tracks, because PCs will typically do whatever they want in normal mode and you'll end up with something that has no use except for preventing water rings on your coffee table.
