I had good luck using a SCSI burner and I believe initially Toast 3.5.2 on a 7600. Once I learned to not touch the computer until the burn was done things went well.

Once the iMac came out, I had to burn new users CDs for our User Group. Usually I'd get the request for more an hour and a half before the meeting started which made it tight time wise. I didn't do a bunch ahead of time because that was when Apple allowed us to distribute software updates and I wanted to include the latest.
