Which filesystem for my A3000 SCSI CDROM drive?
« on: April 07, 2007, 11:14:22 PM »
My A3000 is running normally.
The External SCSI CDROM drive is all connected up and running great.
But my A3000 does not recognize it.

So I guess I must install some sort of CDROM FS ?

Is there a good one on Aminet? IDEfix97?

I have a floppy disk labeled ASIM CDFS v3.9a.  Should I use that?

I also own at least 1 other CDROM FS that I bought years ago.  I can't remember what it is called ottomh.

No instruction manual came with this used SCSI CDROM Drive.

My other Amiga (A1200) came with an IDE CDROM drive built in and it always just worked(tm) so I dunno anything about installing a CDROM drive to an A3000.

Please help.

Woops I never installed OS 3.9 onto my A3000.
Wait how could I do that without a CDROM drive already working??

Anyway the A3000 has only ECS OS 3.1

Why do you say ASIM is better than IDEFix?

I need to burn a CDROM of on my XP pc and have it work on my A3000.

Holy bananas Batman!  I didn't know old OS 3.1 came with a CDROM filesystem!!!  So why can't I just use it and forget about IDEFIX97 and Asim and that other one?

Anything special I should know about burning Amiga compatible CDROM datadisks with Nero?
