Hi
I've recently acquired a mac IIvx with floppy drive
and 20MB RAM. It works and had 7.6.1 or something.
That was unstable so I copied it to another disk and
freshly installed 7.5.3 instead.
Using either installation I can't access the CDROM.
When I had zapped the system folder the CDROM booted
fine and I could use it and access the harddisk.
The drive is SCSI and is on the same cable as the
harddisk.
any ideas? I checked the system folder:externsions
folder and it has Apple CDROM.
why does the boot cdrom work if the apple can't access
it normally? does it need a special driver for my
cdrom drive? Where would I get one?
Can I grab the cdrom drive from the boot CDROM? There
doesn't seem to be any extensions on the cdrom itself.
thanks
