    Does the little light stay on? I would bet that the drive
    is dead.

    Your best bet may be to try to get an external SCSI CD-ROM
    drive, and plug that onto the 68-pin SCSI connector on the rear.
    I fear your internal drive is dead (and in my limited experience,
    I have found O2 CD-ROM's to be frail by this age... :-( ).
