Yes, that's the one. Thank you - I'm going to try it on another SCSI ID right now.

Okay, I just got my first ever guru meditation screen. I forgot to use the full pathname to the driver! :) Progress made, though - at least I don't get crashes trying to access the drive now. Thanks!

Hmm. Alright, I'm pretty sure this cd rom drive is no good, or else the Amiga can't read the disc I burned. The system now tells me there's "no disk in drive" when I cd to it. The drive does spin a little (I have the case open so I can see the top of the unit...) back and forth when I insert a disc but, although it has been a while since I did any hardware troubleshooting, I seem to remember that a cdrom should spin up to full speed on insert (or at least access).

Does anyone know what cd formats I can read with the cdfs that comes with 3.1?


 1- Your SCSI CD looks odd: all CD units spins for little time to read the contents of a disk. But since you don't have proper drivers to make the CD works, jump to: 2.
 
 2- Download (and install, of course) IDEFIX97.  During the install, it will ask for the CD unit. Let the program search it for you.

 3- Reboot your Amiga and enjoy your attached CD unit. :-D
Goodbye people.

I\'ll pop on from time to time, RL is acting up.
