Troubleshooting Macintosh Driver Installation

Troublshooting Macintosh Driver Installation

If you have trouble using the Pioneer CD-ROM Changer after you have installed the drivers, please check these points:

1. Check SCSI ID number

Remember, the SCSI ID number must be any number between 1 and 6 not already being used by any other device currently on the SCSI chain. Do not use 0 or 7.

2. Check for INIT Conflicts

Make sure the Pioneer CD-ROM Changer is connected to the computer and powered ON, with a magazine inserted and with discs placed in the magzine trays label side down. If your system crashes on boot-up, or if the CLD Access icon has an X through it at boot up, you most likely have an INIT conflict. Remove all other INITs from the System Folder and reboot. Or, if you are running under System 7.0 or above, disable all extensions, by using Extention Manager.

If the system fully boots with only the Pioneer Macintosh driver INITs loaded, you know you have a conflict. Try loading the Pioneer drivers first. This can be done by adding a period in front of the INIT names, since INITS load in alphabetical order. If this does not allow a successful boot, you may have a conflict that can only be resolved by not using some other INITs. Add INITs back in one-by-one, rebooting after each to see which one may conflict with the Pioneer Mac driver INITs. There are several utility programs on the market that can help you manage INIT loading.

3.If you are installing new Pioneer-MAC drivers into a System where older drivers were previously loaded

Please remove all old Pioneer-MAC drivers before installing new ones. While most of the files will be overwritten, this may not always be the case. It is best to remove the old drivers before installing the new ones.
