orb85750: If you mean burning a CD on a PC to read on an Amiga CD-ROM drive, of course. I do it all the time... You may have to adjust some settings in your CD-ROM filesystem prefs... e.g. some long WinXP files got truncated to stuff like 'slivt~dr.LHA' ... Dopus (at least) doesn't like the tilde character (~). (Is it an obscure pattern-matching char. ??)

As to the original question: Well, Zip drives are cheap, and readily available from EPay... (I paid about $12.00 for one of mine, and got the other free from a friend :) I have seen Zip's sell w/ SCSI interfaces for PC fairly cheap too... If it were up to me, I'd just get a CD-rom, or better yet a burner for the 3000, but it would have to be external, wouldn't it? Ext. SCSI drives are not so cheap...  :-(
