CD-ROM recommendations

[Tension]

Used a yamaha 8424 drive for yeeears on my a4k. Then got an IDE cd writer whenever prices became stupidly cheap a years back. The 8424 is now in the unused 2000. Both worked with a 2091 card.  By the way, the IDE drive was so much faster that I wonder why anybody bothered with SCSI at all.

Well,if you compare a old drive to new drive,obviously speed will be better.
but you picked the worst way to use scsi,the crappy 2091. If you had used scsi off a good accelerator your results would of been night and day.
if your lucky the 2091 was good for 2 or 3MB/s and if you had no ram on the 2091,more like 1.5MB/s downhill with the wind.
you should be shot for crippling a 4000 that way :rofl: no wonder they banned you..heh

Could never afford to spend x hundred pounds on an accelerator with SCSI, also, the SCSI on my A3000 has rendered it unusable for me. Constant errors. IDE just works out of the box. That's all I need. (Also had a Squirrel for the A600 then the 1200, ****e)
