My new CD ROM player will not play normal (music) CDs anymore. For the first few days I had it there were no problems with any music CD or things like "Phil and Dave's Excellent CD." Today it decided to claim that any normal CD is not a Mac disk and then proceeds to ask for either an initialization (!?) or an eject. There are still no problems playing music tracks from mixed disks like P&D's. I tried re-installing everything related to the CD ROM as well as removing most inits -- still no luck. The CD remote DA shows the player is reading the length and track data from the music CD before it is made unwelcome. Does anyone have any ideas? Steve Crandall att!mhgsp!evans

All these wierd permuatations happened to me as I have a 2 meg Mac II. So I spent an evening pulling CD specific stuff out to see the ramifications.. Soon after, I got Virtual, so it looks like I have an 8 meg mac and the memory squeeze was over...... ================================================================== Phil Hunt "Wherever you go, there you are!!!"
