Hi All, This discussion started on another thread, but I thought I'd move it to a separate topic. How is it possible to boot off of a CD drive with a Plus or SE/30? I have tried on an SE/30 and Classic with an old Apple CD drive and they would not boot off the CD. I have otherwise had good experiences with using a CD drive with my compacts.
What I did to make the CD was burn a bootable disk image with a program like TransMac on my PC. The disk image was bootable under Basilisk. After burning the image, I can only read it after the computer is booted, but I cannot boot off of the CD. This would be helpful for installing system software with many floppy images, without having to find/make/swap floppy disks when the compact being upgraded doesn't have CD drivers or is not bootable.
