First list post, so be gentle ;-) I was given an LC III a short while ago which I'd like to add a CDROM drive to if possible. The machine's running System 7.5 at present. I had a quick poke around the various 'net resources but couldn't see anything. So, a few questions:
Will I need additional software installed in order to use a CD drive, or are the necessary drivers already included as part of the OS? For testing purposes, can I hang a CDROM drive off the internal SCSI connector along with the hard disk that's already present? Presumably the 'III has a single SCSI bus and so that's possible, rather than seperate buses for internal/external devices? I haven't made up an external cable yet, so running with the case off the machine and the drive plugged in 'internally' would be useful for initial testing. Do I need a CDROM dirve that'll switch between different sector sizes? Typically 2048 bytes I believe, but some non-PC workstations need 512 bytes. I *think* I have such a switchable drive spare anyway. If I plug a drive into the external SCSI connector, how do I disable termination on the host adapter - or is it automatic on these machines? (Or do they indeed have two SCSI buses and so the adapter always forms termination for both?) What SCSI ID does the host adapter live at, just to avoid any conflicts... cheers!
