I have a situation like that, too. My 8500 has a TEAC 16x SCSI CD ROM Drive. It works with the Apple driver in OS 9, but won't act as a boot disk for "burned" CDs. I'm thinking it's in the CD ROM's makeup and the fact it's not an Apple drive. Since the 8500 has a 266Mhz. card, I needed the CD ROM to be at least that fast, so for now I'm living with it.
