Need some clarification on an external CD-ROM on CS-PPC scsi...
« on: October 05, 2007, 10:29:59 PM »
I am thinking of making the cd-roms external on my 2 A4000's... mainly for heat reasons, as there will be more space without a cdrom in the A4000 desktop case... plus I think I use the cd only when installing an OS, all my amigas have USB for file transfers...
 both are equiped with cs-ppc's , and one has SCSI drives and the other IDE ones.
my main concern is this: suppose I get 2 external scsi cd-roms... would I be able to connect them when I need them? without the complain "cannot mount device CD0 blah blah" when there is no cd-rom installed but there is a mountlist for one? or must I manual remode the CDx file, and restore it when needed and then reboot ? also do they work upon connecting (like usb drives for example) or a power off is needed?
thanks for the help!
