How to use an Apple CDROM drive with a Mac Classic

2008-10-04 by esynthesist

Hi all,

I have a problem with trying to get my Apple CDROM drive connected to 
my Mac Classic 4/40.
The OS is v7.5 but it doesn't have all extensions and drivers installed.
So the Mac doesn't "see" anything when I simply connect the SCSI CDROM 
drive to the Mac.

I tried to install the CDROM driver software which I found here:
http://www.macdrivermuseum.net/disk/
but after launching the installer it complains: my CPU is a 68000, not 
a 68020 or higher, so the installation procedure is cancelled.

In the Mac compatibility list I noticed that at least one member is 
using a Mac Classic + Apple CDROM (even with OS 7.0.1) so it must be 
possible to use the 68000 machines with CDROM drives.

Does anyone know how to configure this machine and/or where to find the 
required software to enable Apple CDROM drives on the Classic  ?

Thanks in advance
