Any old SCSI CD-ROM will do, but you do have to be careful about drivers. > I'm looking at a Toshiba XM-3401 S, which seems to be ok but I can't be > certain.

CD Sunrise works very well, but it only offers HFS support. There are a number of commercial CD drivers which use Apple's file system translators, which will work regardless of the drive. Then there are Apple's drivers. I believe there is a modification for the older drivers, but the System 7.6 driver will work with System 7.1 (and probably as far back as 7.0).
