Primer on Amiga CD drives
« on: August 13, 2012, 03:52:59 AM »
Greetings:
I'm sure there has been lots of discussion on this topic, but searching CDROM drives brings up many threads that aren't relevant to this question, so thought I'd start us over again:

Specifically, has anyone attached an IDE CDROM drive to a vortex golden gate 486SLC for PC emulation? Is it headache-free? If so, are there recommendations for manufacturer and/or read-write speeds that are acceptable? What happens if you attach a screaming modern CD-RW if the golden gate cannot keep up?

Generally, which CD drives work with the Amiga SCSI interface (I realize these address two different things)? I am running a 030 at 50MHz, any recommendations? I like the plexwriter.

Thanks,

Chris

Yes, thanks, it's an A2000 with GVP G-force 030 accelerator.

Edit: To be more precise, would a 48/24/48 work with the golden gate IDE? What about a comparable SCSI drive for the amiga side?
