Alright I got a new cdrom (I found out the old one was fried) and I set the jumpers, and cables. My Powermac 6100/60AV detects the cd-rom, but the problem is: it won't detect cds. I know the cd-rom workd (Apple CD-Player runs) but it won't load cds.
Is there a way to force the mac to search for a cd, and any reason why it wont detec?

Apple Photo Access Audio CD Access High Sierra File Access ISO 9660 File Access Foreign File Access ISSO 9660
These are required to access various types of CDs on the Macintosh platform. Hope this helps...
