Hi to all
I’am trying to install a cdrom drive on my a2000.
First I wanted to know if the drive was realy there, so I checkt hdtool box. I told me I had no driver. I have a GVP 2000 HC+8 so I downloaded the install disk.
Learnt to extract a dms file and I now have a working non dos install disk. I booted from the disk used hdd prep and found out there was a plextor cdrom on ID1. That was all I wanted to know.
Do I still need a driver? Something like scsi.device?
The drive was there so I could focus on the software part.
Searched the forums and found a link to Amicdfs
Tried to read the .guide file, I still have no idea how to read it, so I used word for windows, now I have a almost readable piece of text.
