Is there any was to burn a data CD on a MAC so that a PC can read it too?

I work in an office with both MACs and PCs, and I will burn images, and html files. I need both the MAC and PC to read the CD...

Cheers!

Yes - any burner compatible with Toast can do this.
With Toast 4 Deluxe, simply burn in either "Files and Folders" mode, for a disc which can be read by both Macs and PC's.
Or, you can burn a Mac/ISO hybrid disc which holds seperate data for Macs and PC's, and only one (sometimes both) will be shown depending on the computer reading it. Also there is an ISO/9660 mode for PC's.

If you can get the new Disc Burner program from Apple to work it also defaults to a hybrid PC/Mac file system when you burn "files and folders" (data) CDs. The burned CDs should be readable by almost any CD drive in a Mac or PC.
