Starmax 4160 MT 320 mhz Metabox. I removed the original ATAPI Hitachi CD rom and replaced it with a non-Apple, Sony CD-RW CRX-100E also ATAPI. Just hooked it up to the same cables. This works fine and is even bootable with the Micromat Tech Tools CD. That is the only disc I have, as my original CD rom was non-bootable after system 7.6.1. Thanks to Apple computer.
