EMXP - creating CDROM for EIII

[dvdborn]

If I were to write a CD-ROM .ISO image that was created with EMXP for the EIII, which settings do I need to enter in Toast so that I can burn a CD-ROM that can be read with the EIII?

I created an EIII image, renamed it to .ISO and opened it in Toast. But Toast needs to know the following info:
Pregap: Number of sectors
Postgap: Number of sectors
Sector Size: default is 2352 Bytes
Scrambled: Yes/No

I tried burning a CD-ROM with the default settings (0 sectors pre- and postgap, 2532 Bytes/Sector and not scrambled. But that CD-ROM didn't get recognized by the EIII.

So does anybody knows which settings to use?

Update: I also tried burning a CD in Disk Utility. This doesn't ask for any extra information. But again the CD-ROM was useless.

Can you try 2048 bytes/sector ?
I don't know about the other settings... I'm using Windows software, not Mac, so I don't have problems 
(first time I can  say something positive about Windows)

Hi E-Synthesist,

I also tried 2048 Bytes/sector. But that didn't work either. I'm going to try all the available options and see if one of them will work.

Which software do you use under Windows?

I use Nero, without changing any of its proposed default settings. I simply choose "burn image" and "write", that's it.
I just checked the parameters of an original EmuIII CD-ROM. Again, I don't know about the pre/postgap parameters, but the bytes/sector parameter is definitely 2048 b/sector.
Also I burn the images as ISO, not ISO/UDF or UDF...

I tried Nero today to burn an EIII CD-ROM and low and behold it worked.

This is an excellent feature. I can now convert and backup my own sample library to a CD-ROM that the EIII can read. Amazing.

Allright !
Have fun.
(still wondering though why Toast isn't producing a valid EIII cdrom...)

Hello -
i just wanted to add my own experiences to the thread:

I also tried Toast on my mac - and i couldn't get it to work no matter what i tried.
I tried Nero express 6 on two different pc's - one didn't work and the other did.
So - Nero seems to be a good choice, - with the right burner/pc.

I'm also on Apple Mac and wondering is there a solution for burning in OSX
