- I have just bought a Toshiba XM-5401B CD-ROM drive and I can not
- get it to work with the Mac Pro emulation.
-
- The drive connected to the Emplant SCSI.
-
- In the devices menu I entered empscsi.device and unit 0.
- I enabled the emplant SCSI option and the ISO/HSF option.
-
- When I run the emulation the CD-ROM drive spins every 5 seconds
- (even during bootup) and when it does the emulation pauses.
-
- Eventually when the sys7.5 desktop appears the CD-ROM icon is
- not shown.
-
- Do I need a mac CD-ROM driver? I enabled the Apple-CDROM extension
- but it makes no difference.
-
- Also when I use the CDROM with workbench my system keeps locking
- up and the CDROM light stays on (sometimes it mannages to unlock itself
- after a minute). When the drive is reading a CD all my CPU time is used
- up. I have tried two pieces of CDROM drive software and both have
- the same problem so I can only assume it is the empscsi.device.
- I`ve heard it is pretty dodgy. Has anyone else had this problem?
-
- By the way will there be a faster PiccoloSD64 driver for Cybergfx
- and with more colours than 256?
-
- I noticed that there is now a eCybergfx driver, it doesn`t work with
- my machine - it says "unable to initialise video hardware".
- Does it need more than 2MB on the SD64 board?
- If so will there be a version to work with 2MB SD64?
-
- Many Thanks.
