Apple Restoration CD - Read Me File System Software Disk 1, September 1994 This file contains important information about this release of the Apple Restoration CD that supersedes information in the Apple Restoration CD User's Guide. In addition, this file provides a listing of all the software configurations available on the CD. Refer to the on-line descriptions and those provided here when selecting a software configuration to restore on Macintosh computers. Important Information 1. You can use the Apple Restoration CD on the Apple CD SC Plus and the Apple CD 150, 300, and 300 Plus CD- ROM drives. If you are not booting from the Apple Restoration CD, you also need the appropriate CD-ROM software driver installed on your Macintosh computer. 2. You cannot boot from the Apple Restoration CD on Macintosh SE, SE/30, Classic, II, IIx, or IIcx computers. With these computers, start your Macintosh with a bootable hard drive and then run the Restoration CD installer program from the Other Items window that appears in the Finder. 3. If you're restoring software to a blank replacement hard drive in a single-drive system, the computer should boot from the Apple Restoration CD after a few seconds. If the computer has an internal hard drive capable of booting the computer, press and hold down the Shift, Option, Command, and Delete keys while starting the system. If the computer has multiple SCSI hard drives that are set up as bootable startup disks, disconnect or leave them powered off while using the Apple Restoration CD. Here are a few other notes about booting from the Apple Restoration CD: a. On Macintosh SE, SE/30, II, IIx, IIcx, IIci, IIfx, IIsi, and Performa 200, 400, 405, and 430 computers, pressing and holding down the Shift, Option, Command, and Delete keys during startup disables the hard drive installed as SCSI device 0. b. On all other computers except those listed in items 2 and 3a, pressing and holding down the Shift, Option, Command, and Delete keys during startup disables the hard drive chosen with the Startup Disk control panel. If no disk was chosen with the Startup Disk control panel, the computer will either disable the hard drive installed as SCSI device 0 or the key sequence will have no effect (depending on the model of computer). c. In general, if you are using an Apple CD 300 player and you set the CD-ROM drive's SCSI device number to a higher number than a bootable hard drive, the computer should boot from the CD-ROM drive. If other devices are starting the computer, either disconnect them, set the CD-ROM drive to be the startup disk, or specify a hard drive to be the startup disk and then use the Shift-Option-Command-Delete key sequence to disable the drive. If the computer still attempts to boot from SCSI device 0, even after using the Shift-Option-Command-Delete key sequence, you can reset the startup disk to SCSI device 0 by clearing parameter RAM (pressing and …
