Will the "Backpack"parallel CD Burnners work with a amigia?
« on: August 07, 2008, 07:01:29 PM »
Ok, silly question, but I have a few old parallel backpack CD burners kicking around on my old Tandy systems. Can I use them on the Amiga's? I know I would have to hunt down or write drivers and get a CD file system, but is it feasible? If I have more than one Amiga set up, can I use a printer switch box and share the CD between them? Or is that just over the top? :crazy:

Are you saying the Amiga's Parallel port is different than the PC? (transfer rates, communication and what not?) :-?
