cdrom help
« on: March 05, 2003, 10:16:30 AM »
I have an old Power Computing external scsi cdrom which has died but the external adaptor case seems to be working fine. Does anyone know if I can just whack another scsi cdrom in and have it work?

regards
Mikey

Hi Pete

I have it hooked up with a Squirrel PCMCIA SCSI interface. Simple and transparent operation.
Put a disk in there it would be on the Workbench.
Worked brilliantly until the drive karked it.
The only drawback was having to get an "L" adaptor for the PCMCIA slot when I relocated my 1200 into an old 386 server tower.
I know the later Blizzard boards had an add on SCSI module and some other boards did as well IIRC.
I don't recall there being any operational problems with them but you would be better asking someone who has used one (anyone?).
If the module is there and the software is installed then I guess you should be all go.
