  • 1.  External disc drive with Win 98SE problems

    Posted Aug 02, 2013 11:31 AM

    Dear reader,

    I am having problems trying to get Win 98SE to recognise my external disc drive (I am running this on a rMBP and this is the drive in question amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B008Y6SH02) - in order to play my old games (which is the reason for my installing Win 98SE)... any ideas?  Drivers for recent USB-powered devices? 

    Ripping the discs to .iso files has not worked (I believe this might be due to anti-piracy measures) - but if a suggestion could be made that would lead to the files working that would be equally helpful.

    If there's nothing anyone can suggest, do you think Windows ME would do the trick?

    With thanks in advance.

    (Apologies for reposting - I had this in an older thread though the topic of discussion was no longer relevant to my current issue.)

    Forgot to mention that I'm running VMWare Fusion 5.0.3 (1040386) on OS X 10.8.4.
