Still getting coasters. Changed brand of CD-R and reduced speed to 1x, no change.
Downloading again....

Success. The new download was 473MB uncompressed (my original download was 554MB) and it burned and mounted first time.
Hi bertyboy. All is OK for me when I burn a CD with Toast 7 on my Intel iMac running OS 10.6.8. The CD mounts and the game plays just fine on my old G3 iMac running OS 9.2.2. Likewise if I just mount the disc image on the G3.
Has anyone been able to use this ?
I can mount the disk image with Toast (on a recent Mac), but if I burn the image to a disc, that disc is unreadable by any Mac - the CD drive is fine, I've burned many discs before and since, I have three coasters of this so far, burning at 8x and 4x (in a 16x burner). If anyone else has it, can they burn it and test ?
Alas, can't mount the image in a Mac that I want to (let my son) play it on - "Insufficient Resources" on a PBG3 with 320MB RAM / OS 9.2.2.
