     This may help ...

     In order to play standard Music CD's via your computer, you should have
the following:

     o A Media Driver which matches your CD-ROM drive. For example, RF.NEC is a
driver supplied with RamFAST which works with NEC drives. The Media Driver
should be in the SYSTEM/DRIVERS/MEDIA.CONTROL/ folder.

     o A standard System 6 control panel file (i.e. a "CDEV") named
"MediaControl". MediaControl should be in the SYSTEM/CDEVS/ folder

     o A standard System 6 media control New Desk Accessory file (i.e. an
"NDA") named "MediaControl.DA". MediaControl.DA should be in the
SYSTEM/DESK.ACCS/ folder.


     Once the above items are checked, Shut Down your IIgs. Turn it OFF. Turn
OFF the CD ROM drive. Wait 10-20 seconds. Turn ON the CD ROM Drive. Wait a few
seconds and turn ON your IIgs. Boot System 6.01.


     To play a music CD, click on Control Panels in the Apple Menu. Select the
Media Ctrl control panel. I have "1" for Media Channel, "RF.NEC" (the name of
the driver) for Media Device, and "GAME PORT" for Port. After entering your
settings, close the panel. This will save your setup in a file named
"Media.Setup" in the same Media.Control folder which contains your media
control driver.

     From the Apple Menu click on Media Controller to show the CD ROM player.
Click Channel 1, the name of your CD ROM driver sould show in the player
display. Insert a CD. Click Play and adjust the volume on the drive.

     By the way, remember the sound output is not going to come from the IIgs.
It comes from the CD player (an audio output cable or front stereo jack).
