Hi, fellows! I have just got an external Ricoh 6x2x2x CD-RW drive for my PowerMac 6100/60 (72 Mb RAM, System 8.1). I have been able to make the PowerMac "see" it (if I open Drive Setup, it reports a CD-ROM drive at ID 5, where it is really), but when I insert a disk inside it, it doesn't try to read it, and (of course) it doesn't show in the desktop. The Apple CD-ROM extension is enabled, of course. I think I need a third-party CD-ROM driver because Apple's own will only work with Apple-branded drives. Where can I get it? I plan to share the drive between my PowerMac and my Classic II (System 7.6.1), so I would like to get a 'fat' driver that would work with both PowerPC and 68k processors.
On other order of things, I think burning CD-RWs would be a quite easy way of sharing CDs between my Macs and my PCs (that's because I have got a CD writer instead a regular CD-ROM drive). What burning software is best fitted for my PowerMac? Do I need an additional driver in order to burn CDs with a Mac, or it will be enough to have a working CD-ROM driver and a CD-burning software?
