I believe you would need a Apple CD-ROM to boot. I had a old external CDROM attached with a powerbook SCSI adaptor and I never had problems. Also maybe the SCSI ID isnt set properly?<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Apr 2, 2010 at 5:35 PM, Ward Curry <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:wardc@mac.com">wardc@mac.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

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?<br>

Thanks<br>
