My fx at work is now functional and I wonder about bringing in my apple cd-rom drive. Has Apple made any progress in fixing the incompatibilities? BTW (although this is software, not hardware), Closeview caused system 6.0.5 to hang completely. C'mon team, this is absurd. I had to pull it back out of the system. It does not make sense to include files on the distribution disk that cause OS crashes...

However I first had troubles getting my Apple CD ROM drive running on my Mac IIfx with System 6.0.5 and CD ROM Installer 3.0.1. Finally I solved the problem by using a short SCSI cable instead of the longer one I used in the beginning. The same longer cable didn't gave any problems when I connected either the HP ScanJet or the Bernoulli drive to the IIfx. I didn't have any further look into that problem why the CD ROM behaved differently since my problem was solved.

Could you explain your configuration a bit more precisely? Timothy M. Kunau
