Last night I did attempt to shut off the Toast extension instead, and it still produced the same problem. Tonight I'll try it the other way. However, I am suspecting that the problem is the ISO 9660 extension, because that is in the Extensions folder, but it isn't showing up in the extensions manager. So, it looks like that one is the next one to try to deal with. -- -Glennl e-mail hint: add 1 to quantity after gl to get 4317.

I attempted to replace the copy of the extension "ISO 9660 File Access" with a clean copy, and still no go. It won't appear in the extensions manager. There must be something conflicting with it, but unfortunately when the computer boots up there isn't a red X showing over the extension that it hasn't done anything to it. Just to see what might or might not work, I turned the "Toast CD Reader" extension back on, and "Apple CD/DVD Driver" off. While this means that I am not able to read disks in the computer's internal CD drive, it does mean I am able to read them in the Yamaha / ClubMac drive. My thanks to those who have helped me get this far, which is a big step in the right direction. -- -Glennl e-mail hint: add 1 to quantity after gl to get 4317.

TEAC works great for me, Verbatim are not the same everwhere, here in Israel they are worthless. Office Depot (yes, we have them here) had a buy 1 get one free sale for their media and no one bought them. Old SCSI drives did not have buffer underrun protection, e.g. "BurnSafe", so you should burn them at the slowest speed possible. Geoff. -- Geoffrey S.
