Any SCSI CD drive should work with the A2091. As you say yourself, get a ribbon cable, connect it to a 50 pin SCSI drive, plug in power cable and install software.

Most CD drives has a termination jumper, so set this one, and a unit number and you should be fine.

Brilliant observation on SCSI. An open-ended opinion!


I'm guessing that you aren't aware that SCSI controllers aren't as limited as IDE controllers?

Although other drives "might work", your guess is no better than doctorq's, who is really guessing with "your" money.


What's this crap about??? Guessing with his money??? Most, if not all 50 pins drives will work with the A2091 SCSI controller. Just don't use AsimCDFS, and use CacheCDFS or AmiCDFS instead. If the machine has Kickstart 1.3, BabelCDFS is the only filesystem that will work, as the others require Kickstart 2.x or above.
