| SCSI CD drive issue |
Posted by: TheWhiteFalcon on 2014-12-01 13:11:57
Okay, so first; I'm a SCSI newbie.
I got a LaCie K525 drive for the cost of shipping. It's got a Yamaha CDRW drive inside the enclosure.
I hooked it up to the Quadra, properly terminated it, and started everything up.
Maybe I'm missing something, but nothing's loading. In PC Exchange it recognizes a Yamaha drive is connected, but it won't load any driver for it (drive name is shown in italics). The CD Audio player says the Apple CDROM drive isn't responding. I installed the 5.4 Apple CD-ROM extension and that didn't make a difference.
SCSI ID is set to 3, per the drive manual and Apple documentation.
So...what am I doing wrong? Do I need to get another program to get it to play nice with the drive? Remember, floppies are the only way I can load things onto this machine so any big programs are out.

You likely need a third party CD-ROM driver, since the Apple drivers may only work with Apple ROM'd drives. Try and find something like CD Sunrise or if you have something like FWB CD-ROM toolkit use the drivers it provides.

Well, CD Sunrise gets it to recognize the drive and load the disc. Only issue now is that loading a disc appears to either cause the system to freeze, or the 68040 is just so not equipped for moving big files that it's slower than I can imagine. Though Marathon is hardly large.

Cd rom toolkit usually worked pretty well when I had my Yamaha.

I know that the Q700 can support a Yamaha CD-RW. I found that with Apple's driver it only wanted to touch the drive if I booted with a system CD in the drive, else I had to use one of the various third party CD drivers to make it behave.
