Title: SCSI CD-Rom or DVD drive?
Post by: punkyclown on September 26, 2015, 10:12:08 PM

I have a SCSI Squirrel connection for me CD-Rom drive, but I am using the PCMCIA
port for my WiFi adapter.  How else can one connect a SCSI drive to the Amiga?  Or is
there some connection for an IDE CD-ROM drive?
Thanks
Brad

Lots of options!  You could use an IDE drive (just snake a cable outside the case), or a slim drive mounted internally (lots of people here do that, if you're not scared to hack your case up a bit... one guy even has one mounted inside an A600 - there's pics here in the forums).  Or since you already have SCSI you could use an external drive in a chassis, if desk space isn't a constraint for you.  That's what I do:

Edit - just realized you said you had a Squirrel, I was thinking something else.  There's still options for internal SCSI modules though, like this one:  http://amiga.resource.cx/exp/blizzardscsi4
