Hey Folks,
I have a Quadra 950, to which I have added a CD-ROM, which I was successfully able to install System 7.6.1.
Oddly the CD ROM isn't recognised by the OS most of the time. Disk changes aren't seen and the disks don't show on the desktop.
What I've checked:
I'm very tempted to get a RASCSI and be done with real disks completely.
Cheers!
John

What I've checked:
- Hold down "C" to boot off the CD ROM. Sometimes this works, but I'm not entirely sure when to press the key, and when to release. "After the chime" could be quite a window.
- Removing the HDD. Boots off CD fine
- Changed termination. Initially I had the single HDD set as the end of the chain with termination and the CD-ROM as a mid chain device with no termination. No change.
- Changing the device IDs. I had them on 2 and 5. I now have the HDD on 1 and the CD-ROM on 3. No change.
- Checking what's showing in SilverLining. Both devices show. I can even see the "geometry" of the disk.
- Change CD-ROM drive. I had a second drive but that's made no difference either.
I'm very tempted to get a RASCSI and be done with real disks completely.
Cheers!
