Re: A2000 CD-ROM with A2091

Hi guys.

I have an A2000 with a A2091 (with 2Mb fast RAM) running a 50M SCSI hard drive that boots to WB 2 quite nicely. I have had a 2x speed SCSI CD-ROM drive plugged in for years that's never been recognised by the system. I have just got hold of the A2091 Install disk, but not looked at it yet. I can transfer files and disk images from a PC to the A2000 using Amiga Explorer with no problems.

Basically, could someone explain as near step by step as possible how I would get the system to see the CD-ROM drive? Is it possible to get it to boot from it or does it always need drivers from inside WB first?

Many thanks for any replies.


Also, you need a later revision ROM chip on the A2091 for it to work with removable media devices, if I remember correctly.  You can usually find someone to sell you a revision 7.0 A2091 ROM here on Amiga.org or burn one for you for about $25.
