OK, so now I have everything done, except for adding my CD-ROM.  I have 3 old SCSI CD-ROMs lying around, the only one that isn't black is a CD-Burner.  I realize I can't use the burner part, but would prefer to use this one because the color matches better.  I use Classic WB, and regular WB 3.1, and would like to have it work on both.  My SCSI card scans the bus and sees the CD drive, but I have no idea how to set it up.  Could someone give me some tips on what to do or how to get started?  This is an A2000 with an A2091 SCSI card.

Thanks,
Jeff


This works with any scsi cd/cd burner etc under workbench 3.1 :

Set the cdrom device number jumper to something other than the HD/cf whatever is on your scsi chain so it doesn't conflict, make sure termination is right.

copy cd0: from storage to devs:dos drivers
edit the icon info as follows..
set the UNIT= to the right unit #  (# being the cd drive #)
make sure DEVICE=scsi.device

save the icon info and reboot.  pop a cd in and it should come up.
os3.1 cd filesystem isn't the best but works fine on data cd's etc.

You can easily burn cd's on amiga btw. You just need makeCD,masteriso or frying pan etc.. i recommend makecd.

Well, that makes sense.  That makes a LOT of sense.  Thanks for the info.  I thought that if it was working, there couldn't be much wrong.  

Thanks again,
Jeff

He is right, once the cd shows up you are done. no way to save changes to a non-writeable device ;)
If you want to burn cd's look for makecd.
Normally hdtoolbox will not even show cdroms unless its patched.
Someone above mentioned scsi lister,it is a handy tool for finding devices.
In any case,glad you got it all working.
