Hello Josh, Is it an Apple-Branded CD Drive? If not, then chances are it isn't recognised by the System Software. Go to www.resexcellence.com and look around for a page explaining how to modify Apple's Driver to work with all kinds of CD-ROMS. I can't find it right now (crappy internet connection) but I can vouch for it's usefulness, I had a Sony SCSI drive running no worries in next to no time. This is my best guess for what your problem is, but just incase it isn't...
Are you terminating the SCSI chain? Sometimes the device will do that by itself, but not always... Do you know if the drive is good? If not, try hooking it up to the 'book by itself - leave HD's off for a sec. MAYBE you need to enable mounting PC SCSI disks in File Exchange? Don't know why that would be necessary, but hey, I'm just throwing ideas out there for now. Maybe try a different CD, I usually test a drive using a commercial audio CD, that way there won't be any problems with unsupported formats... Do the HD's work and mount? If not, then there is obviously a problem with your cable. You didn't mention them not working, so I doubt that would be the problem Oh, and welcome to our list :-) -- John On 7/6/03 3:17 PM, "Joshua K Braddock" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I supposed i should send this also, i have mac os 8.6, with 56 mb ram, 700 mb > hdd, 2 4 gig scsi hdds, and a scsi cd im trying to get to work.. > > -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
