- My CD won't play music when I boot off my external hard disk. It works
- fine when I boot off the internal drive at address 0 (the external drive
- is at address 1 and the CD is at address 4). I turn off the ext. drive
- and boot from the internal drive (both disks have the save version of
- software/opsys). What gives here? The CDPlayer app comes up with a panel
- saying "Couldn't open the CD-ROM drive." The external drive is physically
- positioned in front of the CD drive on the SCSI and I think this has
- something to do with it. If I need to change the external drive to
- address 0 and put the CD at address 1 I can do this. Problem is I don't
- know how to change the address of the NeXT internal drive (250 mb drive
- that shipped with my color turbo - I think it's a Maxtor). Anyone
- familiar with this problem and is the solution to flop addresses?
