With regards to OS3.1, when it comes to using the CD Drive you just need to drag the file out of Storage and dump it into your Devs folder along with any otehrs you fancy like MS0: or RAD:, etc.  You may need to adjust the device number, etc.
A2000, A3000, 2 x A1200T, A1200, A4000Tower & Mediator, CD32, VIC-20, C64, C128, C128D, PET 8032, Minimig & ARM, C-One, FPGA Arcade... and AmigaOne X1000.

This is something you should only do if you need the CD drive to transfer a "real" CD file system from another computer.

If it needs to be free, you should go with AmiCDFS2. All other file systems you mentioned are commercial.

CacheCDFS comes with IDEfix but needs registration, otherwise it nags with requesters.

A version of CacheCDFS without nag requesters comes with OS 3.9.

To get AllegroCDFS running, you need a piece of hardware from Elbox which acts as a dongle, for example a FastATA4000 or an EIDE'99.


Ah, cheers for that.

My usual course has been to install OS3.1, drag out the CD driver and then install OS3.9.
