Please pardon my ignorance as I'm a bit of a vintage mac rookie.

2 Questions:

1. Are you suggesting that any compatible CD-rom drive will work plug and play without installing a driver for it? My Mac Classic doesn't have a Hard Disk Drive installed, on which I could install a driver. Say..if I purchase an AppleCD 300e plus for instance, will it work without installing any drivers?

2. The classic has OS 6.0.8 on a rom and can boot with a key command. Will that OS be sufficient in order to use a CD-rom drive or will i need a later version of the os on a disk?

3. Can anyone provide me with CD rom models (also 3rd party) which will work with a Mac Classic?

Thanks much in advance.

George
