CD-ROM in A2000
« on: October 28, 2013, 12:56:36 AM »
Okay, I'm pretty sure this has been beat to death, but I'm going at it from a slightly different angle.

I've got my A2000 upgraded with a kipper2 8MB RAM expansion, Megachip for 2MB chip ram, and a CFIDE68K booting from a 2GB microdrive.  Oh, it also has 3.1 ROM.

I'm wanting to add a CD-ROM to the system.  I would really like to use the CFIDE68K interface.

Is that possible?  What driver would work best?

I've got ASIM CDFS v. 2.0.  Will this do the job?

I am also going to drop in a GVP 030 combo board with a full rack of RAM.  Since it has a SCSI interface, would that work better for the CD?

Thanks,

Curtis

p.s.  Pictures forthcoming as the build progresses.

Hmmm, sounds like IDEFIX is the way to go.

Thanks for the help and will report how it works along with pictures as I go.
