Toast PR2 expires on Feb. 1, 2002. So either Roxio will issue an updated version before then (MWSF?), or they will have some very upset users on their hands...
I sure do hope they get it finished soon. My experience with Toast 5.1PR2 is shaky at best. Even with the built in superdrive on my dual800, if I do ANYTHING else with my Mac while I'm burning a CD, I'll get a buffer underrun error and the disc will be wasted. It seems to work fine if I don't do anything else while the CD burns - but come on, this is OS X. If I wanted to be stuck doing nothing while I burn a CD, I'd go back to OS 8.6 and Toast 4.

Could that possibly be a dual-processor bug? On my lowly 350MHz slot-loading iMac, I can happily do 4 or 5 other tasks while burning a CD with Toast.

when Toast Titanium came out that the OS X upgrade would be a free one. I for one bought Toast specifically for use with OS X. At the time, Roxio was projecting a April-May 2001 release for the OS X version. Well, we know now that turned in to July for PR1, and later September for PR2, neither of which could handle a SCSI CD burner. (without modification anyway).
I'm happily burning discs in Toast 5.1 PR2 on my TiBook 500 with a Yamaha 16x Firewire burner. And I'm sure they'll have the final version finished soon, because the PR2 does quite fine.
But what about Palm? They claimed their OS X version of Palm Desktop would be finished by the end of this year (2001). Well, we ARE at the end of this year. And looking at http://www.apple.com/macosx/applications tells us that it's 'available', which of course, it is NOT.
Gosh, I'm so hoping it'll be a fine product.
