CDROM is not shown at all in Easy-Setup Start up.
So, I cannot see or place a CDROM in boot sequence.
In Easy-Setup Test, CDROM-1 and -2 are grayed out.

BIOS version is dated 08/15/1997 - HZET64WW
BIOS part number is 11J9245
Machine type-Model is 9547U9C

System board shows:
Model/Submodel/Revision FC/01/00
Power management version 1.40
BIOS version 1.50
Video version 1.00
Setup version 4.06
Slave controller version 1.12

Any help or advice will be most appreciated! Thanks in advance.

This should technically be moved over to the Legacy Hardware board, but I'll answer anyway. If you're looking for an internal CD drive, though, I can sell you a 4x one.

The 760XL doesn't support booting from the CD-ROM. You have to boot from floppy.

In your case, you'll either have to get an external CD-ROM drive for it, and use the internal floppy drive to boot, or use an external floppy drive and an internal CD drive. It'll probably be easier to find an external floppy drive.

This is the boot disk I use, which seems to support both external and internal CD drives: http://sourceforge.net/projects/btmgr
