in functionality, and so, no compatibility relationship among similarly (but not identi-
cally) labeled firmware labels can be reliably inferred. The best way to determine CD-
ROM ToolKit's support for your drive is to connect and try to enable it with the Control
Panel.
If
CD-ROM ToolKit does not support it, you will receive a message detailing the
drive's firmware identification, which you can pass along to your drive supplier for an
update.
When starting up my system, I receive a message that a CD-ROM driver has alreatly been loatled preventing CD-
ROM ToolKit from loading its driver for that device.
If
you wish CD-ROM ToolKit to control all of your CD-ROM devices, search through
your Extensions and Control Panels folders for other CD-ROM drivers. Some of them
may not have the word CD in their names, please refer to the list on page 5 and make
sure none of them are present in your System Folder.
If you must use other drivers in addition to CD-ROM ToolKit, whether because of cer-
tain drive compatibility or functionality issues or personal preference, CD-ROM ToolKit
must load before the other CD-ROM driver(s) that do not have configuration dialogs. To
accomplish this: 1) Make an alias of the CD-ROM Control Panel. Move the CDT Control
Panel into the Extensions folder while leaving the CDT alias in the Control Panels
folder. 2) Remove the auto-mount Extension for the removable drive from the Extensions
folder. Please make certain you have removed the original CD-ROM Extension from the
Control Panels folder.
CD-ROM ToolKit can be disabled on an ID-by-ID basis, and uses a loading mechanism
which is guaranteed to never conflict with another driver. Disable CD-ROM ToolKit on
the SCSI IDs which have devices you wish other drivers to control.
To further hedge your compatibility bets, set your CD-ROM ToolKit-controlled device's
SCSI IDs lower than the IDs controlled by other drivers.
The sound from my internal Apple CD player is not working (I cannot hear it from my Macintosh).
For Sound Manager 3.0 users, open the Sound Control Panel, click on the Alert Sounds
pop-up menu and select Sound In, make sure Built-in is selected. Click on the Options
button, and then be sure the Internal CD is set to be the internal source, and that the
Play through box is checked. Some AV programs, such as the demo FusionRecorder pro-
vided with the Quadra AVs, disable the Play through option when you exit.
If
you are still unable to hear sound while the CD is playing audio, the electrical connec-
tion between your internal CD-ROM device and your computer may be broken or dis-
connected.
If
you've recently had your Macintosh serviced or taken apart (to install
additional RAM or VRAM for example), the audio connector may have come undone.
