I have several versions of MacOS.  I think the latest I have is 8.5  Of
course, you'll have to get the CDROM first...

I'm not sure if that model is one of them or not, but some models of Macs
will only talk to one or two brands of CDROM drives without a third-party
program to bypass this behavior.
