2300c External CD ROM

[Raymond P Reedy]

I asked this of DNMonk and he referred me here.

I do not want to impose so If you would rather refer me to some other 
site/person, OK.

I inherited the 2300c from my granddaughter. I saved everything to an 
external SCSI HD and then installed OS 9.1 and APS Tools and CD ROM 
Toolkit. She had an external HD and CD ROM drive (Pioneer).

Sometimes a software CD will mount when inserted and sometimes I need 
to run APS Power Tools to get the CD to mount.  I can live with this.

It will not boot from the CD using the "C" key at startup or using the 
Startup Control Panel. Is this normal?

My problem is in getting a music CD to mount. I was playing around with 
this on the weekend and on occasion it would mount and would play 
through my external amp/speakers. Most of the time I get a message that 
it needs to be initialized. (I do not know what I did to get it to 
play.)   :-((

Would getting an old Apple CD ROM do the trick?

Are there any 2300c SIGs around? I want to set this up in our computer 
lab at the church with a big monitor. It is slow but it works.
