I removed CD Sunrise and installed Apple's Universal CD ROM Driver 5.3.1 and after a reboot, the cd-rom player is recognized and also Mac OS 8.1.  :b&w: Thanks for all the help. And forward I go to the next problem. :)

Aaah, that did the trick. I formatted the floppy with my 17"Powerbook G4 copied CD Sunrise to it and to the Extensions folder. The PB is now recognizing my Panasonic DVD Player. Many thanks for that. One little step at a time. The issue I have now is that when booted into Mac OS 8 and putting...

I am guessing it's not possible to reformat a MS-DOS formatted floppy to work for a Mac? You have to buy them pre-formatted for either Mac or MS-DOS, right?  I am waiting for the Farallon PN512B AAUI Ethermac Transceiver to arrive which will make it hopefully easier to transfer data to the PB...

I also bought a Powerbook 540c yesterday and I was wondering how I can find out if mine has a PPC upgrade or not, preferably without opening the machine. The only spec I see is that it has 20,480k of total memory and Mac OS 7.5.3 installed.
