my 1200 is setup with compact flash an a external dvd drive..i want to use a external usb cdrom with my machine ..what drivers do i need ..when i plug a mouse in it configures itself ..usb mouse is much better than amiga mouse ..just a comment ..plug a flash card in it auto configures too ..but usb cdrom an if i do a scan i get nothing ..or when cddevice is selected my 1200 freezes ..i use a version of ide fix ..if i install another cd driver wont that conflict with the idefix? ..any ideas help?? ..

You're using IDEfix... with a USB CD-ROM? ...I'm so confused.
My .02 cents, if you can add a SCSI controller to your Amiga pick up a SCSI CD drive, they can be a PITA, but still easier than USB on Amiga. As an alternative, add an IDE CD drive with something like a Fast ATA controller or a splitter cable (the "not safe" option), LOL. ;)

Usb CD drive can work with usbscsi.device and a proper mountlist.
An USB burner can't work with MakeCD though. I still have to try FryingPan.
With a subway, it will be very slow anyway.

its gonna be a 2nd cdrom with the ide dvd ..it does show in the trident panel ..correct id etc ..i get the message of no class ..is there a usb driver on aminet ? ..

I'd imagine it should be binding to massstorage.class. You might be able to force the binding. If it still doesn't work (and you can't access it through usbscsi.device) it could be a non-standard drive. Does it need special drivers under Windows? Try a different drive if you can.
