I've got a bit further with my problems, and am needing new advice now :)
I am able to actually boot from (it seems) any internal SCSI CD-rom, by holding down the C key. Nevertheless, after i booted and installed, no CD would get recognized anymore...
Tried some utility i downloaded calles PowerCD, but after that i always got some error message while loading extensions, saying that ISO9660, HighSierra and AudioCD support could not be loaded, bt all other formats will be loaded. As i found no way of deinstalling PowerCD, i disabled it from the ControlFields, and deleted by hand the extensions it installed for the three formats. now i don't get the message anymore. btw: any way of deinstalling software on the Mac (other than deleting by hand?)
after that i copied the CDSunrise22C to the system extensions folder, and now i can see all types of Cd's i tried (including ISO9660). There is only one small problem, which bothers me and made me write this eMail:
MacOS seems to want to mount CD's only if it starts up with its original installation CD in the drive. Meaning: if, when MacOS8.5 starts, I have the MacOs8.5 installation CD inside, it mounts it automatically, i can eject it and any other CD i insert (audio not tested yet) is mounted without any problems.
Any idea why this happens? Oh, and I've tried "Apple CD Software" versions 5.0.1 and 5.4 before the CDSunrise, and it didn't work.
thanks, ANdrei

I'd start by removing all CD related stuff to a folder on the desktop. Look in the extensions
folder and preferences folder. Yes, you de-install these things by hand.
There's no uninstall programs as in the PC. On the upside, no hidden DLLs to track down.
Go download tome-viewer. Put your OS 8.5 CD in and open the folders until you find
all the CD ROM extensions. Apple CD ROM, ISO 9660, High Sierra, etc.
Drag them onto the System Folder and let it put them where it knows they go. (Another
positive difference between Macs and PCs)
Restart your Mac and see if you can't do more with that CD ROM.
