I got the new ROM and INIT for my DaynaFile today, performed some surgery, and
restarted by Mac II. Lo and behold, everything, even that CD-ROM player,
worked.

Two complaints now:

1. Why didn't Dayna send a mailing to it's registered owners telling them
about this KNOWN problem and offering an upgrade to those who needed it? I
spent most of a sleepless night trying to figure out what device was causing
my problem.

2. The CD Explorer disc that Apple shipped with the drive is bad. It crashes
and hangs the SCSI bus in strange ways. I had no trouble with Phil &
Dave's Excellent CD (the developer CD), and I tested both the Mac OS stuff and
the audio-only stuff. So, Apple - what's wrong with your demonstration disc?

Y'know, I'm beginning to think this CD-ROM player is more trouble than it
was worth...
