I have the Apple CD/DVD Driver in my extensions folder right now. I have an old copy of CD-ROM ToolKit left over from the original NEC CD reader that came with this computer. When I tried running this extension, I got a message saying I needed an updated version to work with this drive. I'll try running the older Apple driver you mentioned and see what happens. I'm guessing I should have it on one of my old system disks. adh -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
