Hi all:

I see my amiga 2000 has a slot for a cd drive (front).
I would like to get a cd writer inside, so I can backup
my art work. What do I need ?
Does the drive need special cables ?
Is it hard to install ?
Please help me !!!


Does your 2000 have a SCSI hard drive? If so you probably just need a SCSI CDROM and a cable to connect them both to the SCSI card.

The problematic part is not installing the drive. The problematic part is finding a SCSI CDRom or a SCSI CDRW. They are relatively rare today. All you can buy for the PC is either ATAPI or SATA.


Yeah, that's true. I got my drive from an old Mac and I think I used idefix for the software (I could be wrong on that it's been a long time...).
