This is the case, however the all in one driver works fine all the way back 
to DOS 3.3, and probably earlier. It's readily available all over.

Dear Juan,

The short answer is that you cannot run PowerPC-requiring programs on 
an un-upgraded Performa 630CD. What sort of programs are you trying 
to run? I'm sure you'll get useful advice if you'll share a few more 
details with the list members.

What do you mean that your Mac won't take a PowerPC card? Of course 
it will, provided you can find the correct model card. Again, more 
details for the list to peruse will help our collective diagnosis.

Good luck,
Brett

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:mscd

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:mscd

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.

Some versions of the DOS support software do have problems. Heck, some 
versions of the Mac support software have problems.

In fact, the DOS on a Mac product (Reply, but actually designed entirely 
by Apple) cannot see the CD-ROM if it is a 600i, but can if it is a 300i 
... a known limitation for which Reply (or Apple) didn't fix, but instead 
included a third-party CD-ROM driver for the Mac side. Problem solved for 
the DOS side.

The DOS Compatibility card for the Q650 and similar '040 PDS machines is 
pretty clean ... the PC Compatibility Card for PCI Power Macs is squeaky 
clean.

Any other DOS/PC compatibility card had (and still has) unresolved 
functional flaws.

I use PC Compatibility cards in my Beige machines. I use pcSetup 2.1.7f 
(now free, if you can find their site). A flawless implementation of 
Windows 95, and runs DOS very well, too.

More reliably than my real-deal Pentium 166/MMX, which is where my (PAL, 
GAL, EPROM, EEPROM, etcetera) Universal Device Programmer resides. I have 
that machine because the device programmer requires a proprietary ISA Bus 
interface card.
