Well, I won't follow that trend with *this* post!
I recently installed an external SCSI CD-ROM unit into the SCSI chain
on my IIgs. The drive is an Apple 600e CD-ROM. It's in chain with a
ZIP-100 drive and my IIgs's 100MB hard drive. And of course, I
installed the necessary driver in GS/OS.
The drive works great with one fluke. If there is no CD in the drive,
the Finder hangs (freezes) until I put another CD into it. The freeze
is not a total system freeze in that I can still move the mouse around
the screen. But I cannot drop any menus or select anything with it. I
can't start any programs either. Once I put a new CD in the drive all
is well again. Yes, the chain is correctly terminated.
Is this normal behavior for a CD-ROM on the IIgs? This is my first time
dealing with such a setup.
In case it matters, my system is as follows:
ROM 3 ][GS 8Mhz (via Transwarp)
5.25MB RAM
ZIP-100 SCSI
100MB hard drive SCSI
Apple 600e SCSI CD-ROM (new)
System 6.0.1
