Click here to return to the '10.3: Disk Utility will read and convert .toast files' hint |
If you don't trust edgesuite.net, don't install anything from any of Apple's various app stores: Mac App Store, iOS App Store, etc. Don't even install any operating system updates. They have pretty much all been served up by the edgesuite.net CDN domain for well over a decade. MacBook users have long known the legendary Toast Titanium program. Starting with Mac OS 9, there was no better program for burning discs, over the years of its existence, the title of the best program for mounting discs remains the same for Mac OS X. But since that time, Toast has become a powerful tool and has acquired new features.
Just for reference, this was available since at least 10.2.

Yes, isn't .toast the same as a DVD/CD master? And I'm positive I've mounted toast images with OS9's Disk Copy before. https://casinopokergourmetplayerpalacepb.peatix.com.
The new thing about this is that we're talking about Disk Utility, not Disk Copy. Disk Copy is no longer in Panther and its functionality has been put into Disk Utility. Thus, this is a new hint and not a repeat of a previous feature.
I've noticed that Disk Utility won't recognize .toast files directly, the way Disk Copy did. I'd rather convert the image without mounting it, personally.

In /dev/null, no one can hear you scream
Update: I noticed that if I changed the .toast extension to .iso, Disk Utility will allow me to convert it without mounting it first, which is the preferred way to go about that.

In /dev/null, no one can hear you scream Diguin mac os.
What happens in 10.3 to AppleScripts that send events (when made in 10.2) to Disk Copy? Scan loading mac os. Are they forwarded on to Disk Utility? Of course, one could just rewrite the script to do the work using the command line (do shell) utilities (disktool, hdiutil, diskutil), but there might still be a need for interfacing with the GUI utility I suppose.
Has anyone used the older Disc Copy from say, 10.2.x in panther? https://slotsdirectcasinopalace100codessunbonusnomadeposit.peatix.com. I miss it as a stand alone and found it rather awkward just to make some img for server deployment (Using Disc Utility, then makinga new image, giving it a size, .)
Before it was just drag and img.

To BeOS or Not to BeOS
I use Disk Copy from 10.2.8 for drag and drop operations in panther and it does its job very well.

This works for 10.5.6 Mac. Get your toast file, and open it with disk utility. Select the toast file at the left, and then click convert at the top, and have it end with .dmg. It works like a charm, but it may take awhile if it is a large file. It took my 5 gig .toast file about 4-5 minutes to convert it.
Anybody still out there? I'm having a problem with a .toast file-i've tried changing the extension, then converting it in Disk Utility. Every time I try, however, it says 'Unable to create '_____.dmg' (not recognized)'.
Anybody got advice?

The Virtual CD/DVD-ROM Utility is a tool to aid mounting a CD/DVD ROM image file onto the desktop of a classic Mac OS. - The kind of image file types it can mount, may be .CDR, .DSK, .IMG (Disk Copy 6 .ISO compatible), .ISO, .TOAST, etc.
Build the oasis: city mac os. An image file once mounted by the Virtual CD/DVD-ROM Utility, can often be used to fool application installers and games programs that require a physical CD/DVD to be inserted, i.e.; to accept a virtual mounted image as being the expected genuine hardware copy.
Roxio Toast Mac Free
It can also be used to create .ISO compatible image files labeled '.iso', from mounted media such as CD or DVD-ROM, or from CD and DVD image files mounted by other software such as Disk Copy or Toast, etc.

AutoTyper with tweaks for enhanced file safety, compressed with Aladdin DropStuff 5.5
MD5 checksum & filename: 871b850b881286c297af1ea7874aef98 *Alt_VirtualCDTyper.sit - Notable changes in the version 1.0d3 update include:
- The Utility now creates files with an included '.iso' filename extension and saves to it's own native file 'Creator Type'. That is; it now creates native Virtual CD/DVD-ROM Utility '.iso' files which are double-clickable to mount by the utility. Whereas previously it would save disk image files with a Toast 'Creator Type' and filename suffix ending in '•image'.
- Note: Version 1.0d3 Virtual CD/DVD-ROM Utility native '.iso' files are still able to be mounted and used by Toast, if necessary.
- Update v1.0d3 - now shows application name 'Virtual CD/DVD-ROM Utility' in title bar of the running application window.
- Updates v1.0d1 & v1.0d3: The wording at the top of the UI and buttons have been updated to give a clearer more meaningful indication of this Utilities potential.
- Changes have been made to various resources. Mainly to update the icons, and version data and to add basic Balloon Help.
- Update v1.0d1: Added is a new Finder icon, for Virtual CD/DVD images that can now be auto-loaded by (or dropped onto) the Virtual CD/DVD-ROM Utility. Also included is 'Virtual CD AutoTyper', a dropper program to assist in the process of making image files 'Virtual CD/DVD-ROM Utility native'.
- The Utility now creates files with an included '.iso' filename extension and saves to it's own native file 'Creator Type'. That is; it now creates native Virtual CD/DVD-ROM Utility '.iso' files which are double-clickable to mount by the utility. Whereas previously it would save disk image files with a Toast 'Creator Type' and filename suffix ending in '•image'.
For a full list of v1.0d3 changes view the enclosed 'ReadMe' docs (in SimpleText & PDF formats).
CompatibilityArchitecture: 68k
68k code only, 68020 CPU or better. Possibly could run on 68000 CPU but requires 4MB or more RAM to load. Runs flawlessly on all PPC Macs capable of running under a classic Mac OS. This utility does not work in the Classic environment of Mac OS X
System Requirements: Agathas escape mac os.
- Any Macintosh physically or theoretically capable of mounting and reading CD-ROM media etc. This includes Macintosh clones and emulators, 68k and PPC.
- Macintosh OS from System Software 7.0 to Mac OS 9.2.2
- Macintosh CD/DVD Drivers (these are usually installed as Extensions by the System). If running Mac OS's prior to 7.5 you may need to locate these drivers and install them yourself:
- Apple CD Driver (or Apple CD/DVD Driver as installed by later OS's)
- Audio CD Access
- Foreign File Access
- ISO 9660 File Access
Limitations:
- To create or use images greater than 2GB you need an HFS+ volume and Mac OS 9.x, otherwise System 7.x to Mac OS 8.x is OK
- This software can successfully create images from Hybrid Mac/Win media. It requires first the Windows partition of the CD to be mounted. To do this you need to use the 'Joliet Volume Access Control Panel to swap the mounted CD's Mac partition to the Windows part, before ripping. It can also mount hybrid CD image files.
- Note: It however, cannot create or mount mixed data/music, bin/cue images.
- Some image files are not CD/DVD .ISO compatible and will not mount onto a desktop using the Virtual DVD-ROM/CD Utility. Such as; compressed image files, for example: Disk Copy 6.x compressed images, or Mac OS X .dmg files, etc. An error message you might get if the Utility fails to mount an image file, is: 'There are insufficient system resources to mount this image'.
See the included 'ReadMe' doc for more information and tips for some workarounds of this issue. - The included 'Virtual CD AutoTyper' may not recognize files dropped onto its icon initially and doesn't appear to work. If so, then you need to Rebuild the Mac's Desktop Database to fix this issue.
