If you've run the Squirrel installer then it might have overwritten the proper driver with its own Squirrel-specific one.

Make sure that the CD0 mountlist in DEVS:Dosdrivers/ points to 1230scsi.device in the CD0.info and doesn't have a "device = " field in the actual mountlist. The icon should also have "UNIT = 6" or whatever the CD unit number is (check the jumpers on the rear of the drive and make sure it is NOT 7). Again, the mountlist shouldn't have a "unit = " field.

The jumper is on "ID1" physically shown on the back of the CD drive so I think I remember it being "UNIT=1".


If the jumper is on ID1 are you sure that's unit 1? What I mean is most SCSI jumpers start at ID0 through to ID2. How many ID jumpers do you have? If you have 8, ID1 means unit 1. If you have three, and ID1 is the lowest (i.e. you have jumpers labelled ID1, ID2 and ID3), then you have unit 1 as well. If, however, you have ID0, ID1 and ID2 jumpers and ID1 is jumpered then your CD is unit *2* not 1.
