Ah, at least I know my mind is not completely gone! An Apple Dealer brought in another CD player, and it works just fine on the two scsi cards and cables. But, mine does not work on the GS, it only works on a Mac. What seems to be the problem? Do I really need to buy two CD players for two computers? One for the GS, and one for the Mac? Does this mean the CD player is junk? Oh, why me. scott hutinger mmpr004@ecncdc.bitnet

(As I understand it, Macs are priority 0, so any nonzero priority is fine for a Mac, and any non-7 priority is okay for an Apple II SCSI card.) -- --Dave Lyons, Apple Computer, Inc. | DAL Systems AppleLink--Apple Edition: DAVE.LYONS | P.O.

It was set at 3, and to make sure this was not the problem, I changed it to 4(the same as the one that a dealer brought in) Oh well, such is life. (oh, I meant to say that I loaned my GS, and not my CD player, (and this was an exception to the rule)) Maybe it wants to live on my server or something??? I will try a couple different priorities, just for the sake of reaching for something. Then get out the screw-driver...(ha ha) Scott Hutinger mmpr004@ecncdc.bitnet

Mac's are at priority 7 as well, and any devices HAVE to be lower priority than the CPU. ------- Dan Berry, Univ. of Alberta Computing Systems (Network & DataComm.) * CORRESPONDENCE: UserDBUG@UAltaMTS.bitnet * FILE TRANSFERS: ..!ubc-cs!alberta!ualtasun!dan@uunet.uu.net * INK/PAPER MAIL: U. of Alberta, Room 120 GSB, Edmonton, T6G 2R3
