I just got an Apple CD SC. I'm running a mac II with system 6.03, 2Mbyte Ram, no ram cache, no fancy inits or cdevs. When I install the CD resources/inits using the accompanying floppy and then reboot the mac with the CD player set to SCSI 3 and turned on, the mac bombs (ID25) immediately after displaying the CD init. From then on it bombs identically whether or not the CD is on. I can boot from the floppy and the mac II hard disk mounts...then I remove the init fromthe system folder and the mac boots again. What's going on? I have not other SCSI devices. Help would be appreciated. bob

If you don't think Moire is fancy think again. It does not work with the Apple CD SC init. There is at least one other that doesn't work but I never bothered to track it down I just pulled out a bunch until it worked. I would suggest you try NO inits or cdevs and see what happens. Pete

Bob, If you haven't already done so, try renaming the Apple CD-ROM INITs so that they will load last (ie zApple...). I've found that most of Apple'Cr INITs aren't very friendly and need to load last. Fabian Ramirez SuperMac Technology fabian@cup.portal.com sun!cup.portal.com!fabian

Hi Fabe, Actually, I wouldn't rename Apple's Inits. I've had problems, especially with the audio CD desk accessory that expects to see the name "Apple CD ROM" in the System folder. The same rule applies for Appleshare. If you really want to reorder these Inits, I'd get InitPicker from MicroSeeds, which allows you to reorder any Inits without having to rename them. __________________________________________________________________________ |Disclaimer: Segmentation Fault: Core Dumped. | | | |Internet: REWING@APPLE.COM-----------------------Rick Ewing | |ApplelinkPE & MacNet Soon!------------------Apple Computer, Inc. | |Applelink: EWING--------------------100 Ashford Center North, Suite 100 | |Compu$erve: [76474,1732]--------------------Atlanta, GA 30338 | |GENIE: R.EWING1--------------------------TalkNet: (404) 393-9358 | |USENET: {amdahl,decwrl,sun,unisoft}!apple!rewing | ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Thanks to all who responded. Indeed, Moire cdev is FANCY. It has worked for everything else I have used, but NOT the CD driver. If the driver and Moire cdev are in the System folder simultaneously, the Mac bombs on boot. It's a shame, because Moire dims both screens. Anyone have suggestions for another screen saver for multiple screens? bob

I don't know if it works with both screens, but due to its resource nature, it is compatible with damn near anything. --Mike Disclaimer: I think that disclaimers are an incredibly sad statement about our society.

(Mac II, 5 meg memory, system 6.0.3) Are you sure its the CD/Moire causing your problem? ================================================================== Phil Hunt "Wherever you go, there you are!!!"
