I am trying to boot my 7300/200 from CDROM. This is a new to me surplus machine. It has a 100MB SCSI hard drive, and came with 4 of the RAM slots populated, an APPLE branded 18X CD drive. The machine gives the startring chime and puts out video to a Dell Ultra Sharp 2407 via a Mac to VGA adapter. The video looks fine. I first get a smiley Mac, then the floppy disk icon with the flashing question mark. The keyboard is a Power Computing one, with an Apple teardrop mouse, connected to the keyboard (the 7300 only has one ADB port). The front panel power LED turns on, but I don't get any keyboard LEDs turning on, nor do I see any on the CD drive. I can hear the CD drive spin up when I put a CD in, but no activity light. I also don't see any LEDs turning on on the keyboard, but the mouse does move the pointer around.
I am trying to get the machine to read a System 7.6.1 CD that was sent to my by one of the members here. I have tried to press the "C" button on the keyboard on power up and I have tried the "C" after the smiley Mac, neither work. I have tried "Shift-C", I have tried a "Shift-Command-Option-Delete" key sequence as well both on power up, and after the smiley Mac. Do I have the key sequence right, and I have some issue on the machine somewhere, or are the key sequences I have tried invalid?
