Short answer is no, sorry..long answer is 68k roms cant even read burners very well, if at all..it's only because you're using emulation that you can even see the cd burner in MacOS ..normally the cdrom extension wouldn't load a non-apple drive. and the disk burner extension that would, in any case , be needed (either apple's or roxio's)..would refuse to load on a non power-pc system.
No software has ever been considered for them either, as 68k's just aren't fast enough for cd burnng..even if your emulating on a fast pc, the emulator still only runs at 68k mac speeds...
You *might* be able to burm the 7.5.3 image as a raw image instead though just on the pc..you wouldn't have to open the image file and theoretically it should just burn it same as any iso in an unreadable (by a PC) file format..
You'd have to have just the one image file though, not the one made up of 19 parts like the 7.5.3 one..meaning you'd have to mount it and (using disk copy) copy it to a single disk image..then do a blind raw image burn on the PC...
Worth a try...
