C'mon wild guesses- anything-is the answer so obvious I get duhh-ed? However, I have not received any answers from anyone else
Bought an old syquest, removed the "player"and installed my old apple cdrom. The purpose is 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 old bootable cd rom is the only device currently on the scsi chain. When I insert a cdthere are 7 icons for the cd appearing on the desktop. The icons open,files can be read etc,however,the cd (all seven) cannot be put away from the desktop(CMD-Y or dragging to trash). 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. The recurring alert is -50. Sys profiler shows SCSI Bus 0 has the two hard drives and yamaha cd/burner, SCSI Bus 1 as having 7 cdrom drives with 2 cd's mounted on each Ideas what is wrong and what I could do about it? And after all, I still cannot boot from "one" or 7" system cd's. How do I get the "syquest (2nd)" cdrom to override the primary(yamaha) drive inorder to be able to boot from it?
