I got my IIci recapped early this year and it works so well except for audio playing from the external CD-ROM drive. This CD-ROM drive worked perfectly on a Mac Classic and allowed the Classic to play an audio CD. The problem was before the recap it was halting at first and then it wouldn't do anything until so much attention was paid to recapping by someone far more competent than me.
I tried using the Toshiba CD Tech 1.5.2 driver and also the FWB CD-ROM ToolKit 1.5.6 driver (have the installer floppy but it so rudely DIED on me!)
and neither one will get it to play audio. The System 6.0.8 and stock System 7.1 Sound control panel won't allow me to put Sound In to External CD the way the Classic would-and the way an LC III would with the same software years ago!
It stuns me that alert sounds work, games with sound work, but playing Audio CDs is beyond the capability of a recapped Macintosh IIci. And, as Khan said in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan "He tasks me. He tasks me and I shall have him."
