BootX, another bootloader from BenH, used to boot those machines, but changes made to the MacOS in 9.0.4 (and possibly the earlier 9.0.x series) broke it completely. It worked in MacOS 9.

If this doesn't work, you'll need to remove the drive from the system, then manually open the tray. The lens (optical pickup) mechanism should be visible. The lens is made of clear plastic and should be cleaned very gently.

How can I back up files on CD-ROM?

Apple II Csa2 FAQs: 1Main-Start, Part 1/25 - Apple

In my studio, I've placed a lot of important material on analog tape; and, unlike the diskette situation, there is no doubt of the imminent danger of degradation. Burning the audio to CD would maintain the original quality, with the added bonus of random access. CDR also opens up business opportunities.
