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

2008-11-12 by esynthesist

Elm, the driver 5.3.1. was released with OS 7.6, so I guess there 
might be a problem in using it on system 6.
Perhaps the sunrise driver is compatible with OS 6 ?
Or why don't you upgrade to system 7.x ??
PS: I'm using the very same Apple CD300 as I mentioned to you on 
another group for connecting a SCSI cdrom to the EIII. So this cd-
drive seems to be quite a good fit for the Emu sampler family...
