Title: Back to life my A2000, CD-Rom needed!
Post by: Daniele on February 15, 2008, 06:18:00 PM

Hello folks,

I'm trying to resurrect my A2000, I already have an HD with controller SCSI but I need to put a IDE CD-Rom inside,do I need another controller? What can I do?

Thanks

It is possible to use IDE devices on SCSI...

Not if the IDE to SCSI device works.

or just use a scsi cdrom...most scsi devices can have up to 7 units connected, on my GVP HD+8 in my A2000 i have hard disk, cdrom and connect my 1GB jaz drive and an external disk drive.....works a treat.
