Hi Kari et al - Thanks so much for your help. I am back online but still struggling with the CD booting problem.
I have tried booting 3 different ways and none of them works: (with the C key; with the command, option, delete, shift keys down; and by selecting the CD as my startup disk from the control panels). if I leave the FWB cdrom toolkit extension in place when doing this, I get, after a long hang at the smiley mac, an error message saying that there's a conflict with FWB cd-rom toolkit. if I turn off the toolkit extension, the startup hangs at the smiley mac for a long time without going to "welcome to macintosh". but after awhile, it will boot up from my hard drive as normal. in short, I still cannot boot from the CD. someone suggested updating my CD driver. Can you please tell me where I can find a driver update? I have the original 8x ATAPI cd-rom drive that came with my computer in 1997, and my best recollection tells me it's made by Hitachi (but how do I tell for certain)? thanks again, Jillian >You didn't say what the manufacturer of the original CD rom is, mine is >TEAC and I have to use the CD driver extension from OS 7.6 >Kari > > >-- >StarMax is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and... > > / Buy books, CDs, videos, and more from Amazon.com \ > / <http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect-home/lowendmac> \ > > Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> > >StarMax list info: <http://lowendmac.com/lists/starmax.html> >Send list messages to: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/starmax%40mail.maclaunch.com/> > >Using a Macintosh?
