- To access non-HFS volumes, you need 3 things:
- 1) a driver for your drive
- 2) Foreign File Access
- 3) High Sierra File Access, or ISO 9660 File Access or Audio CD Access,
- or Photo CD Access, or all four.
-
- The installer that comes with the 4.0 software will put all these things
- in the proper places for System 7 machines. For System 6 machines, put
- everything in the System folder.
