SCSI CD-RW - any recomendations?
« on: October 19, 2008, 07:35:14 AM »
Looking to add an external CD writer to my Amiga arsenal for back-ups. An internal unit in a scsi case would be fine also. Any recomendations as to the most compatible brand? Software needed to drive the unit? Will be used to back-up different machines. Thanks.

Oh, somewhere there is a 'MakeCD Compatibilty List' Sorry to tired to find it now....


Picked up MakeCD 3.2 at AmiWest for cheap. Found the list mentioned.

700MB is far more than the 100MB zips I have been using. Waiting for the dreaded click of death someday.  Compatability would be most desirable as my A3000 and A4000 are both equipped with a WarpEngine'040. Maybe replacing the eternal CD-ROM on my A3000 with an external CD ROM/Burner and then using it on the A4000 when needed. Or/and replacing the CD-ROM on the Flyer Bay with a burner.

4gig back-up would be better. Which external SCSI DVD burners work with MakeCD and the Amiga and Flyer SCSI? Don't see any on the list... Looks like I got more investigating to do.

Dude, MakeCD was released as freeware!  :-D

Yeah, I know, but getting files from my HP (no floppy) to my Amiga is a major hassle. They aren't "online" either...
Besides, $2 was worth having the original disc, manual and box.

...go for the type alexh fingered on eBay, it should work. That's the DVD-RAM standard.  

Gotcha, should...
Thanks
