When I want to know what is the issue, I pull the terminator first. Then I set the CD ROM to SCSI ID 6. I open the System Folder on my machine to verify the existence of CD ROM Externsions. Apple CD ROM, High Sierra, ISO 9660.... Then I test several different CDs. If I can't get a known drive to work at that point, I will think it's the Cable or the SCSI chip in the Mac. I verify the latter by hooking an external SCSI Hard Drive to it that I know is a working Drive. Jeff G -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
