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.

As a 2300c user w/CD-ROM player headache this came to
my attention. Am I wrong...? re:
1. "OS 9.1" on 2300c: possible but screwy?
2. "I do not want to impose so If you would rather
refer me to some other site/person,": yes?this is it?
3. "It will not boot from the CD using the "C" key at
startup or using the Startup Control Panel. Is this
normal?" : no, sounds like an ID# conflict?
