I followed somewhat the CD-ROM driver discussion on the list a while
back - I downloaded the 5.3.1 driver and installed it - did not fix my
problem. I have a PowerTower 225 with a PowerLogix G3 card - I've
experienced some problems with the CD-ROM for quite a while - would get
low/bad cache messages when I inserted one, but they'd still work. I was
using CD-ROM Toolkit drivers - which I had upgraded from the Power
Computing version that came with the PTP. As I upgraded MAC OS from 8.0
to 8.5 and then 9, the CD-ROM problems got worse, culminating with my
upgrade to 9.1, which, on mounting a CD, or trying to open a disk,
forces a finder quit and a fairly dramatic "seizure" where the desktop
flashes on and off until it freezes totally. So....I went to the Low
End Mac Page, and found a link through to a Resedit hack of several
possible versions of the Apple CD/DVD Driver
(http://www.ResExcellence.com/12-21-98.shtml). I picked version 1.2, and
the hack seems to solve some of the problem - I can open the CD-ROM and
its contents o.k., but if I try to open another application with a
CD-ROM mounted the app quits.
Was wondering if using CD-ROM toolkit with the Apple CD/DVD driver would
work, or just compount the problem. Any suggestions appreciated.
