Title: How will a USB Blu Ray drive work with MorphOS?
Post by: arnljot on April 18, 2012, 03:37:21 PM

I've tried to ask this at MorphZone (http://www.morphzone.org/modules/newbb_plus/viewtopic.php?forum=11&topic_id=7579&viewmode=flat&sortorder=0&start=80), but it seems that noone knows or cares to share.

Do you guys know?

You can't use bluraydiscs if I understand it well. But I do wonder: does it read DVD and CD's under MorphOS a bluray drive ?

You can buy an USB Bluray drive ?

I'm wondering about the exact same thing. I'm considering picking up a Samsung ODD external USB blu ray player, and want to use it on my mac, pc and as CD/DVD drive on the efika.

Can a USB Blu Ray player work as a CD/DVD drive with MorphOS?

I am quite sure that every optical drive can be used as CD drive on an Amigaoid operating system.

I think that no UDF file system exists for MorphOS, so you won't be able to extract files from BD disks. But it should recognise that a disk is inserted and show a CD0:Unformatted icon on the desktop.

CDs and DVDs with ISO9660 file system should work fine.
