The discs or the drives? For the discs you need extentions like foreign file access, ISO 9660, High Sierra, all the ones in the Apple CD driver setup. Plus you should have PC-Exchange installed too. For Joliet CDs with long filenames there's a freeware extention at http://www.tempel.org/joliet That will display the first 31 characters of any Windows LFN instead of the mish-mash the Mac will make of them. For pre OS 8.x with contextual menus, it comes with a control strip module for manually switching the read mode on Joliet CDs should you really want to view them as ISO 9660. Trivia question! How did the High Sierra CD-ROM format get its name? As for the drives, if it's SCSI it'll work, as long as it's plain old narrow SCSI. Other types of SCSI aren't common on CD-ROM drives. IDE drives can be adapted with an IDE to SCSI converter. ===== http://www.junkscience.com "All the Junk that's fit to Debunk!" __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
