Title: CD-RW Mac OS 9.2.2
Post by: zizban on January 06, 2024, 06:55:08 PM

I thought Mac OS 9.2.2 supported CD-RWs but when I insert one it just wants to format at ProDos. Help!

MacOS 9 will work with CD-RW but not throuht the Finder AFAIK.
The burning support at Finder level is a OS X thing. Any burning I did on pre-OS X machines since my iMac DV always involved Toast ;)

yep, use toast, then every possible format of CD and DVD will "work".
