Some older Macintosh programs are not completely compatible with Power
Macintosh computers. Check with the program’s manufacturer for
compatibility and upgrade information.

Open the Memory control panel and turn off Modern Memory Manager. For
more detailed instructions, see the “Working with Programs” topic of
Macintosh Guide, available in the Guide (h) menu.

Solutions to CD-ROM problems

Problems using the CD-ROM player

The CD-ROM player icon does not appear on screen.

If you have other internal SCSI devices attached to your computer, make
sure that each device has a unique SCSI ID number. (If your CD-ROM
player was installed in your computer at the factory, it has SCSI ID 3.)

Refer to the documentation that came with your SCSI devices if you need
to reset SCSI ID numbers.

Note: Your computer also has an external SCSI connector. All devices on the
same SCSI chain must have unique ID numbers, but devices on different SCSI
chains may use the same SCSI ID number. (For example, you could have a
CD-ROM player with ID number 3 connected to the internal SCSI chain and
a tape drive with ID number 3 connected to the external SCSI chain.)

m

If you installed a CD-ROM player after you bought your computer, make
sure the CD-ROM software that came with the drive is installed. See the
manual that came with the CD-ROM player for software installation
instructions.

If you reinstall the CD-ROM software, make sure to restart your computer
after you reinstall the software.
