It worked well enough but at various times it would cycle through all 7 CD-ROMs which took a couple of minutes. Very annoying. I've since replaced that server and drive with a 7500 and a 60Gb IDE drive. Instead of serving CD-ROMs I store image files of them on the HD, mount them as volumes on the server and serve them on the network. I can serve a lot more than 7 CDs this way and they are much faster too. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting [EMAIL PROTECTED] I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

try Compact Pro it's a HUGE 165kb ;) you can download it here http://www.eskimo.com/~pristine/compen.html#cpt Al Gregg Eshelman wrote: I just got a Pioneer DRM-604X, which is an external 4x, 6 disc, SCSI CD-ROM changer. :) Unfortunately whomever is in charge of driver software at Pioneer uploaded the Mac driver as a .sea file instead of a plain stuffit archive or .hqx or .bin encoding it. :( I've tried to download it from here http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/Pioneer/CDA/ServiceAndSupport/SelfHelpForIndDet/1,1457,1347,00.html but it always loses the resource fork, and of course SEA files minus resfork equal an unextractable archive.

Re: CD-ROM changer driver for Mac
Looks like the Pioneer DRM-604X will have to find a home connected to one of my Macs, assuming it works with 7.6.1 or 9.1. :) My PC's SCSI controller identifies it as a DRM-600. MS totally screwed up how changers work in 2K and XP. :P ATAPI/IDE ones show as a single drive only and you have to jump through hoops to make them change discs. SCSI changers show as multiple drives but refuse to load any discs. :P Nobody seems the least bit eager to fix it either. :( If it won't work on my Macintoshi I'll have to fob it off on someone running Win9x (where it will work properly like six CD-ROMs) or someone running an olde enough Mac System. :) Or I may see if there's a way to make it work as a standalone 6 disc changer for playing audio CDs and jack it into my entertainment system. Hmmm, I wonder if the reserved DIP switch is actually a test switch? All SCSI CD type drives I've seen have a test jumper that when closed makes them start playing an audio CD when loaded. Quickly hit the eject button to skip to the next track. Make use of an olde 1X or 2X drive that way. :) = http://www.junkscience.com All the Junk that's fit to Debunk! __ Do You Yahoo!?

My ATAPI changer (Nec 4x4) had 4 driveletters, which is why I kicked it out of the computer and gave it away:-) Each time My Computer or another drive selection window came up, it iterated through all driveletters. -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Update Re: CD-ROM changer driver for Mac
I connected it to my 7300 this morning and apparently the Pioneer control panel can't see anything on the secondary SCSI bus. Bummer. Next step will be to try it on the Power IIci and see if it works with the single SCSI bus on it.
