Re: OT: How to use an Apple CDROM drive with a Mac Classic

2008-11-12 by elmbeatz

Wow!
That's what I wanted, too, all the time. But I didn't get my mac
recognize my cd rom drive (as well as I didn't get my EIII to do this....)
I've got a Mac SE running system 6.01 (I think).
Does anybody know if the driver also works with that OS? Or any other
sulution?

Greetz,
Elm.
