"Why", you ask!
Because I went mad and bought a "real" computer - a PowerBook G4 12" running OS X. Now my old Mac collection seems slow.
So I've been trying to set up a nice OS 6 system. I have a IIsi with NuBus adapter (includes the FPU), and 65Mb of memory. I also have installed a Radius PrecisionColor 8-XJ Video card in that single NuBus slot. With the Radisware s/w, this drives a Apple Portrait monitor with 256 accelerated grays :-)
I've worked out how to use RamDisk to use the balance of my ram for a ram disk, so its not wasted under OS 6 24 bit addressing.
I've installed CDROM setup s/w - but the only thing I seem to be able to do is play audio disks on my external tray-loading Apple CDROM drive. When I insert a data disk (like the OS 7.6.1 install disk) I get an error that says the disk is locked and so OS6 can't put a desktop folder on it :-P
So how do I read a CDROM?
Cheers,
John
