Does anyone know why Apple's CD ROM (SCSI) won't permit the use of 
multifinder when playing an audio CD?  Was this a "hurry up an get it to 
market" approach, or is there a technical reason for this.  If there is a
technical problem, can it be overcome in future software / upgrades, etc; or
am I destined to run "singlefinder" forever if I want to listen to a CD?

If memory serves, I can run multifinder for "normal" use of the CD ROM drive.
Please e-mail any responses to me.  I can't check this group as often as I'd
like to.

Thanks for your help,
