Hi Harry, I?m not sure why this CD shouldn?t just mount on your OS X box but most of my suggestions were pertaining to OS 9 anyway. Maybe we can get this working on your Powerbook running OS 9.2.2.
You mentioned that you located the ISO 9660 extension in its correct location. However, you also need to have File Exchange active within your control panels folder. The combination of the two being active should enable you to mount this critter. And I am slightly curious what happens on your OS X box when you insert the CD. Does it generate an error message or just nothing happens at all? Ward Oldham on 10/19/2002 4:05 PM, Harry Jacobson-Beyer at harryjb at bellsouth.net wrote: > I should have been more clear.
