Yes, this was a problem if you were using the OEM drive as it was not
an "Apple ROM'd" drive. What we are talking about here is
replacing the CD-ROM with an Apple drive.
If memory serves... ?
Wasn't there a problem with using Apple's CD Extensions that were
newer than System 7.5.3 when using a SCSI CD in the StarMax? I seem
to recall that I had to replace the driver both when I upgraded to
8.5 and then 9.1. I remember having to use TomeViewer to extract the
drivers from a System 7.5 CD.
If time and events have distorted my memory I would enjoy being enlightened.

Ruffin,
For the price of mailing, I have an external SCSI drive that you
can have. Let me know.

Okay, there's been just enough traffic about a SCSI drive that I'm
going to throw netiquette to the wind and ask -- without checking
the archives! -- what are some good donor boxes (or other sources)
for finding SCSI CD drives?
Thanks,
