Ah, sorry. I didn't mean to sound rude, I was just in between classes and wrote that in a hurry.

I expect that the more modern CD-ROM drive crashes the system
because it crashes the RAMFast firmware, which very likely does
not understand something that the CD-ROM is trying to tell it.

That was my suspicion, but I can't imagine what. Also I've suspected the fact that the CD-ROM drive supplies TermPwr as does the RamFast as a factor, even though it shouldn't be out of spec, but some II hardware is picky.

But, I've got AppleTalk working now, so the whole need for a CD-ROM drive is gone.
