I really need someone with a 3.5" to write 2 things for me as I have bought the mac classic, 
the cd-rom drive, the E2 lead and the software library but have no way of using it because 
I'm missing the cd-rom driver and I need to have os 7.1 or above.
I am willing to pay anyone who would be kind enough to help.
The software I need is available free from the following page...

Someone please help me get up and running,
Martin

Hi Martin!

I had kind of the same problems... My CD Rom drive wasn't recognized
by my mac neither, so I had to find a workaround to get the banks on
cd rom  into my mac (SE) and from there (Sound Designer) to the EII. I
have OS 6.07.
What I did was to copy all the banks from cd rom to some Zip disks. I
did this with a modern first generation mac book pro. The zip disks
were first formatted on my old school mac SE. The powerbook had no
problems to recognize the old school formatted zip disks. After
copying all the banks, I could easily read them on my mac SE, because
the zip drive works perfectly with it. 
Of course it would have been much more comfortable if the CD Rom
worked fine, but as you have the same problem, CD rom devices seem to
cause Problems with those old apple computers. I don't even think that
the driver is the point, because via scsi there should (normally) be
no problem.

I hope that this helps you.
Greetings,
Elm.

Hi there.

 

I can’t help you either I’m afraid, but just another work-around.

 

I recently purchased an old Classic myself running MacOS7.

At the same time I also bought an old Power Macintosh 7600 running MacOS8
for absolutely no money at all (approx. 50 USD).

This way I can transfer the banks from the 7600 to the Classic via floppies.
Not as handy (or speedy) as having a connected CD-ROM drive to the Classic I
know, but still one way to do it J.

 

Just another work-around if you don’t get a solution to your problem – which
I hope you do J

Hi Martin (and hello to all from a new Emu lister and lover)

I went to an office supply store and got a USB floppy and burned the  
file from my Mac Book after downloading the driver.
But still, my CD drive doesn't work :(

I would still be happy to help you out with getting a disk, in fact, I  
already have one lying around with what you are looking for on it  
somewhere in the studio I believe.

All the best and talk to you soon!

Hey Sean!
This is what I call a coincidence...
Just a few days ago, I browsed flickr and came across your red studio
by chance..  And now I meet you back here ::))  Your studio is
astonishing mann! Btw. I got a jazzmaster too ;)

Just wanted to say this

Greetings,
Elm.

Hi Elmbeatz

Im not sure on the 6.07 disk.

And how funny you ran across the studio!

Good to meet you all
-Sean

Is there a cd-Rom driver for OS 6.07, too?  Anybody knows? Maybe then
I'd got my drive running, too...
