I bought an external cd drive with a scsi and bought a scsi to half pith scsi lead and connected it up to the 9000pro, I burnt a cd of my floppy disc midi files and put it in the cd drive, the 9000 pro recognised that the cd was there and thet the cd was titled midi files BUT it did say this cd is not supported, so you were right it will not read the application, unlike the pc would.
