[alt.cd-rom] Toshiba XM-3201B Questions

autry@thor.corp.sgi.com (Larry Autry) (05/16/91)

I have a Toshiba XM-3201B (in enclosure) and I have questions concerning the  
installation of this drive on an SE/30.  

Is the Apple CD-Rom software supposed to work with this drive?  If so, what 
switch settings or other adjustment must be made to the drive or the Mac?  
Is it necessary to get the Toshiba Mac Kit?  (Includes S/W) 
Any other suggestions regarding how I can successfully connect this drive to a 
Mac would be appreciated. 

Thank You,
Larry Autry

No, the AppleCD SC driver works only with the AppleCD SC drive.  The
Toshiba driver sold by Toshiba works with their drive.

Yes, unless you care to try a third-party driver.

You can purchase a driver from Optical Media International or Trantor
Systems that may work.
