I have been making software restore/install discs for my classic G3 iMacs, G4 PowerMac, G4 iMac etc, and have run into a problem. Most, if not all of the newer discs (Verbatim, Maxell, Sony) just wont work on the older drives in those Macs, they fail to burn for some reason or another, even though the drives are very healthy working drives. At the same time when I use some of my old stock CD-R's from the 2000's, I have no problem at all. I seem to remember a problem with the higher speed burning ability of the newer discs being part of the problem. Does anyone know of a brand that still works OK?
I do have a workaround by burning the disks with modern Macs with modern drives, but I'd rather burn directly from these old computers if possible.
