Not this one again...

You can't use a CDRW created using a packet-writing filesystem on a PC. You need the burn the CDRW in one go, like it was a CDR. Only then will it work.

Yes this one again, and guess what, again somone has got it wrong. IT ALL DEPENDS ON WHAT FILESYSTEM U ARE USING ON THE AMIGA


A natural mistake, if it is one. If the CDs are burned with UDFS, no filesystem on the Amiga will read them. As for other CDs burned properly, I've never had a problem using CacheCDFS, AmiCDFS, AllegoCDFS or the cdfs built into PowerUp or MOS. How can I know that yet another person hasn't tried to use Adaptec stuff? It's by far the commonest mistake.

I can use the LS-120 disks for that and save the CD-RW disks until OS4 is ready. Thanks for the info.


There's no need to do that, Enrique. Just use Nero or similar to burn the CDs you want to read on the Amiga.
