Hi Claude,
Do you know if any CD-ROM is being recognized by the system,
including Mac? Try downloading an extension called 'Joliet Volume
Access' from the below URL. It adds quite a bit of functionality
over Apple's ISO9660 support and may solve your problem. It works
under System 7.5 reportedly.

Hope this helps.

Hi
Bought several XM3301B Toshiba CDROM drives very cheap.
(I am looking for some caddys by the way...anybody got some they
wanna throw out?)
Trying to use these on old compact MACs and MAC IIs using Mac OS 7.5.5
Used a driver that sees cdrom drive (icon with scsi id for drive
appears on os startup) as soon as iso9660 format cd is inserted, it
reports that it cant read the disk, it reports the size of the data
used up on disk and asks if I wanna format it or eject it...
All support files are in the extensions folder (high sierra, foreign
files acces...etc...)
I am using a driver that says it supports the xm3301 is the readme
file. (something from lacie company...off a www page with older MAC
drivers.)
I have tried apple generic cdrom support. Does not see the xm3301b.
(whats the b for anyways?)
I have used a newer Pionner scsi cdrom with pionner driver on the
same system with success.
The newer pionner drive with same driver/support file does same thing....
This must be something simple I cant see...but I am no MAC OS expert...
Thanks for reading
Claude
