Well, I got my little Quadra/DOS Compatible up and running. I installed 7.6.1 on the Mac side and got Windows 3.1 installed on the PC side from some old floppies my brother-in-law had. However, I can't get the PC to recognize the CD-ROM. It works fine from the Mac OS. Anybody have any experience in these things? thanks

You'll need to get a CDROM driver, the oakcdrom.sys from a Win98 boot disk should do fine.
Open up the config.sys on the Windows side and add this to the bottom:
device=c:\oakcdrom.sys /d:mscd0000
This is assuming you have the oakcdrom.sys on the main C drive, which is as good as any place.
Then open up autoexec.bat and add this:
mscdex.exe /d:mscd0000
You might have to modify that mscdex line depending on where your copy of that is and whether it's there at all. If not, google around and you'll find it.
Once that's done, reboot the PC and it should be in the File Manager this time. Note there are some issues with the 32 bit file disk access that you might see in the 386 Enhanced control panel in Windows, best to leave it alone if it works. If you get immediate bluescreens when you try to use the CD ROM, go in there and turn it off.
