Re: External CD-ROM drive with vintage Macs

[Doug Anderson]

Well, it turns out the problem was no driver.  As you suggested, I 
copied the driver from another Mac and on reboot the CD popped up on 
the desktop and worked just fine.  I even put it on a boot floppy and 
the drive works booting from the floppy too.

Thanks

You might want to check in the "Extensions" folder in your system 
folder and make sure the "Apple CDROM" extension is there. If it isn't 
then thats why you don't get any CD icon,  just copy it from your 
PowerBook system folder.

If it is there then its something else.

Yes you can use a CD-ROM drive with 7.0.1.
