Bluray Mountlist? USB?
« on: January 10, 2017, 11:41:22 PM »
Wondering if anybody has successfully mounted a Bluray drive to the Amiga for data transfer purposes. I was looking at some USB based drives and curious if someone has tried this with their Spider/Subway/Other USB controllers and the usbscsi.device.

Specifically wondering if I burn my Amiga files to a 50GB or 100GB BluRay disc, will I be able to mount that disc on the Amiga and view the files directly.

Thoughts?

Those are good points. I could simply buy a 128GB USB thumb drive since they are cheap enough. And that is significantly easier to move around. The big problem with that is the memory requirements just to open the USB stack. An IDE or SATA->IDE bluray player would require a lot less RAM to mount but would probably use the same amount in memory to read the file system as you say. I'll keep pondering. Thanks for the input.
