A2500 CD-ROM Addition?

SCSI drives are a little tougher to find than IDE, but it's the easiest way to go if you've already got a SCSI interface.

I haven't run across a drive yet that wouldn't read burned CDs, but I know there are some ancient ones that might have trouble.

I have old Creative CD writer that sometimes has trouble reading the very cd's it burns. How funny is that! And yet those burnt cds read just fine in old cd-rom drives. Hmmmm! Speaking that I have an A2000 with a Data flyer SCSI/IDE combo controller, I plan on mounting the said Creative writer which is IDE. I never used the IDE bus before so it will be interesting. If it is too much trouble I guess I can get a SCSI cd-rom drive.

Will any scsi CD-ROM work?  Like a 32X drive? I have an A2500/030 so it should have a controller built onto the 030 card, right?  Thanks for the info, guys.

Some do but not all, I have a Derringer Platinum 030 that does not have any built on SCSI. The SCSI I mentioned before is separate. I think Some of the GVP and Fusion 030 boards have built on SCSI controllers. You'll have to open it up and look. SysInfo might tell you too.

Oh yes I forgot, any SCSI drive should work. You need to make sure it is terminated properly with a jumper if it is at the end of your SCSI chain. That might mean changing the SCSI drive jumper if it is the only SCSI device currently.
