AppleCD 600e: Installing Software from Floppy Disk

This article describes how to install the AppleCD 600e software on Macintosh computers, which did not previously have the CD-ROM software installed on them. Without the CD-ROM software installed, your Macintosh will not recognize the Startup CD disc.
Many of the newer Macintosh computers have built-in support for CD-ROM drives. These Macintosh computers have the basic CD-ROM drivers in ROM. If your computer does not have the CD-ROM drivers in ROM, you will not be able to startup your Macintosh computer with the Startup CD included with the AppleCD 600e CD-ROM drive. In order to get the CD-ROM drivers installed, you must copy the Apple CD-ROM extension to a floppy disk. You will have to use a Macintosh computer with a CD-ROM drive to copy the Apple CD-ROM extension from the CD-ROM included with the AppleCD 600e drive.
