[DuoList] PB 2400c SCSI CD-ROM drive boot issues

[Robert A. Donaldson]

I believe you need an extension in your System Folder > Extensions to recognize the third-party CD-ROM. An old Apple boot ROM CD will work much better.

It's been a very long time.... :-(

Hold down the "C" key when you start, or the really old combination, "Command-Option-Shift-Delete" to force a boot from a CD.

I have the adapter switched to "SCSI" and a terminator on the other port of the CD-ROM drive. The issue I am having is that it boots to a grey screen and nothing happens. The CD-ROM drive spins up but it doesn't load the OS. The CD-ROM drive is not an Apple-branded drive, it's a Micronet 16x SCSI CD-ROM. Could this be my issue? Do I need an Apple SCSI CD-ROM to boot it?
