File Information
- Early versions of Toast software would save a disc image with no extension, as was common for Macintosh systems, but would add "•image" to the end.
- Starting In Toast 5.1 (2002), the extension ".toast" was added, probably to be compatible with Mac OS X.
- In Mac OS X, it seems .toast files can be renamed to .iso with full compatibility.[3]
- When saving an Audio CD to a disk image, Toast saves image to the Sound Designer II .sd2f format.
File Identification
