<< I recently installed MacOS 9.1 on my J700 and now my machine does not recognize CDs when I put them in the drive. This is the original Matsushita CR-506 that came with the J700. I've been able to boot from CD, so I know the CDROM drive is OK, and the Apple system profiler shows me the drive, but doesn't recognize that there is media in the drive. I did a clean universal MacOS 9.1 install, so I haven't installed any extra extensions or anything. Anyone know what I need to do to make this system recognize my CD-ROM drive? >> Yes, your CD drivers got updated with the new system and the new drivers do not recognize your CDROM because it is a non-apple CD/ROM. Two solutions are: 1. Upgrade your drivers with FWD CD/ROM Toolkit which is expensive. 2. Use the CD drivers from Mac OS 7.6 vers. 5.3.1. I have used these drivers from OS 7.6 through 9.1 without a hitch. If you need them, contact me offline and I'll send them to you. Jeff S. -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
