What if you don't have a Mac burner?
Authored by: eagle on May 20, '02 12:59:38PM

\0\05{\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0t...if you have a burner on your Mac. I don't, but I _do_ have access to a burner on a Solaris box. I'm interested in burning multisession Mac CDs on that Solaris box.

Any chance you know of a way to do that? I _am_ able to create multi-session Mac CDs that can be seen as multi-session on classic Mac OS (on my SE/30 running 7.5.3) but NOT on my Cube running 10.1.4.

That was supposed to start with "This is great...if you have a burner on your Mac." There must be a problem with the site today. :(

How to use your Solaris burner
Authored by: quo on Aug 06, '02 08:36:18AM
Now this one is easy. Get the cdrecord distribution and compile it on your Solaris box. You may need to get a C compiler first. (Apple definitively outscored Sun by delivering a compiler, or, rather, a complete set of excellent and well-documented Developer Tools!) From sunfreeware.com you can get either a precompiled gcc package or, if you prefer, a precompiled cdrecord package for Solaris. Cdrecord and the other tools are developed on Solaris, so everything you'll find on the fokus ftp server will compile and run - including the generic scsi driver.
