I do not know about anyone else yet even with 9.1, one has to remember that the tower 4000/200 (which is what I have) has a non apple CD drive. The best driver is on the original StarMax disk. Has anyone changed the disk drive for another, Apple even. I have a apple one I have just taken out of a G3 going spare. It also did play DVD's. I wonder. Mind you the one in the Max is absolutely bullet proof. It has never bolted a fence on me, which is more than I can say for the all in one apple G3s drive I have and that it came with, and I seem stuck with. Looks like it belongs in a lap top!
All the best Michael PS does anyone in this group get deluded with letters from places like Africa with great deals for millions of quid. I am up to 175 since Christmas and I have won the international lottery twice, at the same time!!!
