James Smith (james.w.smith@msfc.nasa.gov) spoke thusly:

: WANTED: Mac drivers for Denon DRD-253 CD-ROM drive

: I have an external Denon CD-ROM drive (SCSI-1) that I want to use with
: a Mac IIcx (upgraded to 68030) running System 7.5.  The Apple driver
: doesn't recognize it, and the original software is long gone.

: Neither Denon nor their support contractor (Optical Media) have copies
: of the drivers anywhere, they say.

: If you have this software, or a generic driver that can recognize
: a standard-command-set SCSI CD-ROM drive, please reply by email to
: <james.w.smith@msfc.nasa.gov>.  Or if you want to donate a better
: drive, that's okay too.  :)  Thanks.


Now, I'm a PC person by trade, so don't flame/blame me if I'm completely wrong.

My experience with the extension "Apple CD-ROM" is that it only supports 
Applce CD drives :(

FWB's CD-ROM ToolKit supports AFAIK any CD drive. This will show up in the 
extension folder as "FWB CD-ROM Toolkit" I do believe. This is copyrighted 
software, but it is bundled with many third-party (e.g.) non-Apple CD drives, 
so your local dealer should have it cheap.
