OK, I've got SS installed,a Mac partition formatted but I'jmhavin trouble getting SS to find my (Sony=Apple) CD-ROM drive containing System 7.5. I have a stock A4000/040 with the Mac partition in where hd1: is (on the IDE-controlled motherboard). hd0: contains WB and SS. The CD-ROM is attacched toa GVP SCSI controller which is also attached to a GVP HD (hd2:). I have enable and disabled Apple CD300 emulation,but I still get a blank screen with a flashing "1" in the upper right hand corner, presumably asking for System disk 1. –Gary

Gary: My System 7.5 update came with 2 items, a disk and CDROM. You need to boot from the disk which will them bring up a minimal system and allow you to format your Mac partition. Once that's done, it should then proceed to finish booting and the Icon for the CD will appear allowing you to install 7.5. Make sure you read the ShapeShifter documentation carefully concerning the SCSI settings. // John (Warp 4040 & Emplant Quadra 840) \X/ Mercury@ins.infonet.net

Yes, I did, but couldn't (and STILL can't) get SS to recognize my CD-ROM drive! Fortunately, a friend has 7.5 on disks and I installed it from them. Curiously I have an Apple (Sony) CD-ROM drive (and ASIMCDFS), connected to a GVP SCSI HD. SS is on an IDE partition. I think I'll e-mail Herr Bauer.
