Thanks!! _______________________________________________________________________ Joe, The problem is that the CDROM drive used in the UMAX clones (Matsushita was the manufacturer, I think), is not supported by the standard CDROM driver. The reason that it worked under OS 7.5.2 was that for a while Apple made a "universal" CDROM driver, that would work with any CDROM drive. Your alternatives: 1. Find the file that makes up the CDROM driver on the system that still runs OS 7.5.2, and transfer it to the OS 9.1 system. 2. There is a "hack" for the CDROM driver that will make it work with any CDROM drive. It requires using ResEdit. 3. Get a copy of FWB CDROM Toolkit, which contains a driver that supports the Matsushita drive. 4. Probably the easiest - get an Apple branded CDROM drive. They are often available from the usual Macintosh vendors (Smalldog, etc.) Regards, Joe Getchel
