Try renaming "Apple CD-ROM" to "zApple CD-ROM". Some INITs want to be first in line, and get upset when they aren't. For example, some early versions of ColorDesk assumed they would be first to install. This is a bug in the INIT, not in Apple CD-ROM driver. Remember, your CDev and RDev files can have INIT code in them... Check your termination of the SCSI line. Move the AppleCD SC to be the first drive in the chain, or the last (I mean physically, not scsi id.) Be sure that you only have two terminators in the system; your internal hard disk is already terminated if it's an Apple drive, so you should only have one terminator, on the last cable. Try putting the terminator in-line to the last cable rather than on the adjacent connector. That's about all the magic I can think of, if you're sure of your scsi id's. --Brian Bechtel blob@apple.com "My opinion, not Apple's"
