One thing to mention, if you use os 9.0 or higher pulling audio over the data cable became the standard way of pulling audio from a regular CD. So with 9.0 and up, that cable is useless, with a few exceptions, the Apple CD Player seems to want that cable anyway. I mention this because if you are going to move to OS 9 or OSX, don't bother with the cable, it'll be useless anyway, you'll be able to use iTunes or some such to playback audio CDs. > > As for the DVD-rom drive being able to boot from a CD, I don't > know. > This is as far as I can go until my $5.00 plus shipping (eBay) Supermac > keyboard arrives. You see, Daddy broke off a connector pin on the ADB > cable... Sssorry. Handy tip, if you lose/break the ADB cable, you can replace it with a S-Video cable. This is what is on the DVD video players. You can also get the cables fairly cheap and easy. -Robyn -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
