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

2008-11-12 by esynthesist

It's the driver on the link mentioned in the posting below.
You can find all possible drivers on
http://www.macdrivermuseum.net/disk.shtml

The one I used is the first Apple driver mentioned (5.3.1, 60K file). 
I didn't use the installer file 5.3.2 (460K file).
Probably the sunrise driver, which can also be downloaded from that 
page, is a good solution too...
