I have not used Amiga Forever in a long time. (I had a state of the art 450mhz P3 at the time). I never had tried to get the cd working. Does the new Amiga Forever have CD support? Can AsimCDFS work under emulation with an ide cd drive? Is there a tutorial on this somewhere?
Thanks all!

Well, I have one Amiga Forever 6.0 and it installs the Workbench 3.5, wich has support for CD-Rom in it.
Just insert the cd in your drive and icons will appear in your screen.

Sound great I will have to buy it! Thanks

I have one more question about Amiga Forever 6. Can I copy my hard drive from an Amiga onto a Jazz disk and boot from it on the PC? Would save all that configuring to get my workbench to the pc.

You mean that you want to copy your Workbench from your Amiga to PC using a Jazz drive and then start the emulation ?
In this case I think it's all right !

...whereas actually trying to boot off the Jaz drive would be a painfully slow experience - being a tape drive and all.

The Jazz drive is a cartridge system.Each cart is seen as a hard drive with it's own rdb. The drive is about as fast as any of the Amiga hard drives I have had. The controller is the limiting factor in the Amigas. I have used them to boot the Amiga by setting the boot priority to the Jazz first. As long as a bootable disk is present it will boot whatever workbench I have on there. I had 3.1, 3.5 and 3.9 all on thier own disks. Did not increase my boot times noticeably.
