We bought a HDI-30 SCSI cable so that we could use a CD-ROM drive with
our Powerbook 520 (System 7, pre 7.5). But the computer just won't mount
the CD-ROM. The drive is an Apple CD 150 with a Mac CD-ROM in it, there
is a terminator block on the drive's unused SCSI socket and the Apple
CD-ROM Extension is in the Extensions folder. SCSIProbe shows that the
computer is seeing the drive, but it just won't mount it. When we use a
Hitachi drive, the results are the same. Both of these drives have been
used recently with desktops Macs, connected with standard SCSI cables,
without any problems.

Has anyone any ideas as to what's wrong?

Thanks in advance for any help.
