Bought an old syquest, removed the "player"and installed my old apple cdrom. The purpose being to have a bootable cdplayer that didn't require taking the cpu apart inorder to reconnect a cd rom to boot from. The Yamaha cdrw I have isn't bootable.
The" new "bootable cd rom is the only device currently on the scsi chain. When I insert a cd, just to check operability- 7 icons for the cd appear on the desktop. The icons open,files can be read etc,however,the cd cannot be put away.Physically removing the cd shutting down the puter and restarting will clear the desktop. I have switched scsi id's from 1-7, the syquest box is terminated with a terminator, and nothing changes. A recurring alert is -50. Sys profiler shows SCSI Bus 1 as having 7 cdrom drives with 2 cd's mounted on each Ideas? And how do I get the "syquest (2nd)" cdrom to override the primary(yamaha) drive inorder to be able to boot from it? Again placing the system cd in the drive,pressingcresults in a normal restart with 7 sysp icons on the desktop which are accesable but not the overriding boot cd. Hope this is clear.
