HDD & CD/DVD on Efika?

[Fingers]

Asking here as there seem to be quite a few Efika owners on this board.

Although I've read that the Efika doesn't officially support more than one IDE device at once...has anyone had luck running a CD or DVD drive with the HDD still in place (two IDE devices on the same cable/chain)?

The empty slim optical drive hole in my Efika's case keeps asking me! :-)

OK, I won't even try it...thanks for the warning Moto! :-)

Might try your idea of modding an external enclosure's guts, which looks good to me.

Tried to watch your movie file but "no hexview yet"...whatever that means?!?!

Yeah...on my Mac though...is there a MorphOS version available & where do I get it?

Had to download QTLite on Windows but it works.

A couple of years ago when my main home machine was a PC, Apple provided a PC/Win full version of Quicktime (presumably to steer people towards their hardware).

From what you said...they no longer do? :getmad:

Thanks chaps, just purchased everything I’ll need for an internal USB setup:
