- I just got a NeXTstation and a CD rom (not 3.0 yet) and am a little
- confused. Now the CD Drive has the headphone jacks etc on the front
- and I got the PD CDPlayer program so that works fine. That's about
- all I've been able to do. My questions are:
-
- 1) Why is this not part of the OS? Is it in 3.0?
-
- 2) Am I missing something or is there like basically no doc on CD Drives?
- I can't find anything (at all!) in the manuals that even mentions 'CD'
- The manual that came with the drive is pretty much useless.
-
- 3) Following the manual's instructions I inserted a High
- Sierra or ISO CD and contrary to the manual, I did not in fact get
- either an error message or a NEXTDISC appearing in my dock. Is there
- some other magic I must do?
-
- 4) The most important question of them all. How do I pump the data
- from music CDs through the DSP? Actually, for now, I'd be happy to
- just get a regular program to process it.
-
- I'd really appreciate any info. Email is best. I'll post a summary
- if reasonable.
