Errrrmmmm - Up to now I never had to use CrossDos when it came to reading CDs that had been burned on a WIntel machine.

You need an CD-filesystem like AsimCDFS or CacheCD to read any CD (no matter on which platform they have been burned) on the Amiga.

On e.g. harddrives in a PC commonly FAT is used as filesystem, while on the Amiga FFS is the standard that comes with the OS (other solutions are SFS or the commercial PFS3). To access PC-floppydisks or PC-harddrives on an Amiga you need CrossDos - but not for CDs.

All the best,

Could it be the Sony Cd rom drive (old style with disk caddy) can't read the newer style the cd writer is using?



Hmmmmmm - just try a newer one - they're rather cheap nowadays...
