I use Toast 3.55 with a G3 and have found the program and the drive (a
Philips CDD2600 mechanism) to be finicky. The combination tends not to
like other SCSI devices on the chain, particularly scanners. It's also
finicky concerning termination -- if you have passive terminators, you
might consider eliminating those and trying active termination.

Good luck,
