Guys

I'm using Toast 3.55 on a 8600/250/256 with 4 devices on the internal
SCSI-2 bus and 4 devices on the external SCSI.

The Cd-R (Panasonic) is on the exernal along with a UMAX 1200S, a EZ135
Syquest and a 1Gb IBM HD.

Didn't get any problem so far.

Please check you don't have the CP (or extension) provided with Toast
that turns your CD-R to a "regular CD player". 

Haven't you installed Direct-CD too? I didn't.

Needless to say you need to have the shortest and thickest SCSI cable
you can find. Check also your gear is not on a polyamide carpet and that
all your external devices are correctly grounded to the same ground
reference you Mac power supply is. External SCSI is *NOT* differential
and *HATE* ESD's.  This can help!

My $.02
