There's no way to be certain for any arbitrary CD-ROM drive whether it will work on a Macintosh, but you need a couple of things: 1) a driver 2) a SCSI CD-ROM drive :-) 3) appropriate cabling. The two companies I know of who sell generic CD-ROM drivers for the Macintosh are: Optical Media International 485 Alberto Way Los Gatos, CA 95032 (408) 395-4332 fax: (408) 395-6544 AppleLink: OMI Internet: omi@applelink.apple.com and Trantor Systems 5415 Randall Place Fremont, CA 94538 (415) 770-1400 (415) 770-9910 AppleLink: Trantor Internet: trantor@applelink.apple.com They may be able to help you. --Brian Bechtel blob@apple.com "My opinion, not Apple's"
