You might want to check in the Extensions folder in your system
folder and make sure the Apple CDROM extension is there. If it isn't
then thats why you don't get any CD icon, just copy it from your
PowerBook system folder.
If it is there then its something else.
Yes you can use a CD-ROM

Oh, almost forgot, I have an active SCSI terminator plugged into the
300e's other SCSI port (top one).
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
