Has anyone come up with a patch yet to allow the CD drive to work with the
IICi ? For anyone who hasn't tried it yet, the machine crashes when it
attempts to load the drivers at boot time. The Apple people I have spoken with
have told me it is a known bug, and they are working on a fix, but there is no
time frame.... Unfortunately, within the next two weeks I am going to have
to help decide whether or not to use the Apple CD rom drive as a vehicle for
distributing a System V unix port. (The much maligned CD drive is perfect for
this kind of distribution; large storage and very cheap media costs). Any
magic hacks would be appreciated...
