Title: Toast - Versions, updates...
Post by: MigMac on August 17, 2024, 05:37:23 AM
Hi

I got the toast titanium 5 installer (from Macintosh Garden if memory serves me right)

- it included various files for updates, up to 5.2.3... is it worth updating the 5.0.1 version? I mean are there real benefits...I see 5.2.3 is compatible with OSX so for my UTM OS9 VM, it's irrelevant.

- I also read on various sites that Toast 4 (4.0.5 I think) is better than Toast 5... I noticed that DieHard included it in his Software Library (MacOS9 Lives) and not Toast 5. Therefore I'm wondering.

i use 513 in OS9, there is no real benefits in 5.2.x

in OSX v6 or v8 are fine, later ones are useless.

I included BOTH Toast 4.1 and 5.2 when I ran the site... Version 5.2 had more features, but 4.1 is the only one that allows a "Block by Block" definition copy/image that can copy some copy protected CDs

thanks for your answers.

@DieHard: is it possible to install both on the same disk then? no risk of extensions conflict?
