DVD-ROM drives on the Amiga
« on: December 05, 2004, 06:48:07 AM »
Just wanted to post my experience with this.  I have a stock A4000 040 that I upgraded to OS 3.9.  I actually have 3.0 ROMs but am able to Softkick to 3.1 and OS 3.9 works fine, even with the AmigaOS ROM Updates!  Anyway I had this Toshiba DVD-ROM drive (IDE) so I thought, what the hey, let me hook it up and see if it works.  I already had a NEC CDRW that was working with the Cache CDFS just fine.  I plugged the drive it and it read CDs fine.  Then I tried a DVD-R I had burned of some files and guess what?  It read the disc!  I also tried a DVD I made with over 3GB of WHDload games and it also worked!  Awesome!  I was not aware of built in DVD-ROM support in AmigaOS 3.9!   :banana:

Hold on a sec, you just said you can READ DVD´s without using AllegroCDFS ???


Yes!  I was amazed too.  It works, even on discs that were not finalized.  I could not even read the DVDs at work but they worked on the 4000.  Truly amazing.
