I've got two problems here at the moment, and if I can get help with
either, or both, I'll be very grateful. First, I got a PowerCenter Pro
210 a few weeks ago, and decided today to upgrade it to OS 9.1, so I
threw in the cd, initialized the hd, and did it. Everything seemed to
go perfectly, until I tried to use the cd-rom. It's recognized in ASP,
but not mounted. If I reboot with the OS 9 cd in, I can then use it
with other discs. So, I guess I've lost the drivers for the cdrom (24X
Teac, I believe). How do I re-install them, or what other software,
preferably free, can I use?
I, too, have a PCP 210, which came with a 16x Teac CD drive. I'm also
running OS 9.1 at the moment. Apple's CD-DVD driver cannot be used
with this drive. You'll need to get a 3rd party CD-ROM driver such as FWB
CD-ROM ToolKit or Intech Software's CD/DVD SpeedTools, both of which
are commercial products. There may be a freebee available, but I am
unaware of one.
Second, I bought an XLR8 DualPort USB PCI card, with a USB mouse. The
card is recognized, but the mouse will not work. "Not enough power
available for unknown device."
Do I need to install the updated USB packages from Apple for this?
Probably. Anyway, it couldn't hurt to install the latest USB drivers. Also,
the XLR8 card may be looking for a PCI version 2.1 slot, which the PCP 210
doesn't have. I have tried several combo FireWire/USB cards in mine and
the FireWire will not work. On the other hand, I now have an el cheapo
USB card in mine ($10 at Fry's) that works like a champ. But then, I'm
using Apple's latest USB drivers.
