Title: Would this work with my A2000?
Post by: iconoclaST on February 13, 2009, 05:32:29 AM

Well, as my A2091 card as a SCSI port on the back, I found this to be the cheapest SCSI CDROM on ebay that has been tested:

Think it would work with my A2000 under KS/WB 1.3?

Should be ok with idefix97 as that supports cd changers.

You'll need a 1.3-compatible CD filesystem, for sure. There might be issues with the multiple discs, depending on how the device presents itself to the system.

These Nakamichis used to be able to run as a single drive plus a changer device or as just a stack of drives where the changer swaps in the discs as required automatically. The latter mode would - probably - work with any CDROM driver and a mountlist entry for each slot.

asimCDFS knows how to deal properly with Nak changers...

Wait, can the Amiga not read ISO9660 filesystems?

And where would I find the proper drivers?
I take it that BabelCDFS is simply just a way to read ISO9660 filesystems...
