CD-ROM now can't read Mac or foreign CDs

Post by Dan Davis » Wed, 24 Jun 1992 07:48:32



I have an original Mac II, 5 MB, with a 40 MB internal hard disk,
internal 800K  and Mirror external 44 MB removable disk, plus a Apple
CD-ROM reader.  All this is under System 6.0.7.

My CD reader now no longer reads CDs.  I have tried known good CDs of
both Mac, ISO, and High Sierra formats and none of them are
recognized. They *used* to be, possibly before system 6.0.7; I'm not
sure if I have used any of these disks since the upgrade.

The CD reader can *play* CDs with no problem, that I would have
noticed right away :-).

I ftp'd to apple.com and got the latest CD drivers from sys/cdrom and
installed them; no change, the CD reader still grinds for a minutes
and says Eject or Format?

Has anyone seen this problem before? If so I would greatly appreciate
hearing from you...thanks in advance,

dan davison

1. CD-ROM player won't read Data CD's

All of a sudden my CD-ROM player will not read data CD-ROM's.  It will accept
audio CD's with no problem (and play them).  But if I put in a disk CD-ROM it
will keep trying to read it over and over again without sucess until I eject
it manually.  It was working fine a week ago?

To make sure it was  not the software , I booted up on the disk with the inits
and it had the same problem.  The player is the old Apple CD-ROM player.

Thanks!
