I reiterate: SCSI Disk Mode is where it's at! If you have a desktop or a working PB with a CD-ROM burner, hook the target system up to the ROM Burner equipped Mac in SCSI Disk Mode and then back up to CD as you would from any other HDD installed inside/connected to the Burner equipped Mac!

With the right cables/adapter/passthru termination, you can do all sorts of neat tricks to save time, effort & cost! [] ]'>

And have far more reliable backups on CD!
