that was me, and I have to report no luck, but I'm going on holiday for 
a couple of weeks..  I did try the System 7.6 driver and also another
one that a kind soul sent me, but the best we got was the busy pointer
when we inserted a CD, which says to me that the drive is working to
some extent but that maybe the CD's are not compatible (we only had ISO
CD's to try.).  I did consider that some of the extensions he had on
may be incompatible also but not sure about that..

thanks to all who tried to help though, I will probably be back in a few
weeks with more questions.
