Hi John, Here is a site with info on PowerComputing Mac clones. Which one do you have ?
OS 8 will work ok and won't need much RAM but I would go to OS 9.1 if you are going to use it for internet or anything that needs newer apps. The CD-ROMs were usually made by Mashita but you'll need a special driver to make them work. Your CD-ROM may just need the driver installed in the System Folder. PowerComputing clones came bundled with FWB's CD-ROM Toolkit. There is also CD/DVD Speedtools or an opld Apple CD-ROM extention that will work also. I can send you the Apple extension. Just drop it on the System Folder and click ok to put it in the extensions folder. If the CD-ROM won't work you can replace it with an Apple branded SCSI unit from older Macs. Any CD-ROM from an older Mac will work and you won't need the special 3rd party driver. 12x CD-ROMs can be found cheap ($5.00) The CD-ROM was the first thing to die in my PowerTower Pro so your's may be toast. What OS does it have now ? You mentioned Netscape which is a web browser.
