Fact is that you can use a modern IDE CDrewriter on the native IDE port of the A4000 with a burn speed up to 8x !! This is what I have read earlier on this forum. But as Adolescent says, you need the IDEfix package.
PhilMoore : my advice is the following. Get yourself brandnew kickstart 3.1 roms and the OS 3.9 CD. First install a brandnew harddisc (no matter how many Gb´s) as shayes1981 explains it (just make sure your boot partition is smaller than 2 Gb) and copy your old harddrive to it. Then disconnect your old harddrive and keep it safe for emergency use. Now you have got a brandnew, for example 160 Gb, harddrive, supposed to be bootable, with one partition smaller than 2 Gb and with the OS that came with the computer when you bought it. If you set it as master then you should be able to boot from it. So far you won´t need the new kickstart nor the OS3.9 cd yet. Now you need to find somewhere the file atapi.device, somewhere on one of your floppies or from a very good friend or from the official IDEfix package. Then use AsimCDFS to locate the new 52x CDrewriter on the atapi.device and from that point you´ll know it yourself I think :-)
Happy New Year and have fun :lol:
