Toast Titanium error: Connection unstable?
Spanky
I've created a couple coasters and have given up on burning a CD right
now. I've been using Toast 5 Titanium for a while now with absolutely
no problems whatsoever.
However, today when I tried to burn an audio CD, it paused for a bit
during the lead-in writing, then I got an error message (I forgot to
write down the number...) that said the connection to the CD writer was
unstable. Then after clicking OK, the system froze.
I tried it again--same exact result. Coaster #2.
Tried it again after rebuilding the desktop, but using Simulation
Mode--same thing again (but no coaster this time ;)
I haven't installed much software lately, just an FTP client is all I
can remember right now.
I'm running OS9 right now--haven't tried to run Toast under X yet,
although it is the updated version for X. This problem started well
after I had installed that update, so the update is not responsible for
the problem. Could my CD-ROM be choking?
It's a Lite-On LTR-12102C drive in a G4/733 machine. It's worked
beautifully until today (I've only burned maybe a dozen CDs, though, so
I haven't exactly worn it out).
Any suggestions welcomed, as Roxio's email support is down, and this
didn't show up in their known issues.
thanks!

It's an internal drive. Should I open the box? I love the side door,
but the box sits between two desks and I have to disconnect every cable
from the back of it so I can pull it out to open the side door :-\

Well, I paid $100 for Toast, so it needs to work. It has worked for
several months now, so it's not the software, unless it's become
corrupted.
As an update, I found that the 8x speed still works for burning. all
the other speeds (1x, 2x, 4x, 6x, 10x, 12x) cause the same error and
subsequent system freeze. The error is "Interface error -9356,
connection is not stable." I was able to burn a CD just fine on 8x,
though. <sigh>

Hmmm. Did you check for updates? Toast is coming out with a product
called "Toast with Jam" that is specifically for Macs and should solve
all your problems and more.
