When using the CD-ROM drive on the external port make sure it is properly terminated. I got a similar sounding situation when I first tried my hacked together external CD drive on an SE/30 . I whipped the case off and set it to terminate and it was fine after that. The fact that that SAD MAC code translates directly to 'Bus Error' may point to the SCSI bus. -- -- Mark Benson SilValleyPirate - AIM silicon_valley_pirate_uk - Yahoo!
