You haven't said on what Amiga but I guess an A2000?  With an Accelerator?
Don't know about the Goldern Gate IDE but I have a TEAC 6x4x16 SCSI CDRW on my 2000.  Generally all 50 pin SCSI CD Drives work on the older accelerators.

Yes, thanks, it's an A2000 with GVP G-force 030 accelerator.

C

Edit: To be more precise, would a 48/24/48 work with the golden gate IDE? What about a comparable SCSI drive for the amiga side?


I have a G-Force 040 and the SCSI cdrom works fine on that.  
As to IDE I guess it will work.  You wont get PATA 33 or 66 Speeds out of it. It will proabably use PIO mode but that still gives speeds around 5MB a sec.

one way to find out....
