And I don't understand how I'm suppose to know what those "device and unit fields" should be set to? You said "through trial and error" But to be honest I have absolutely no idea of what I'm doing. So how am I suppose to guess my way through then...? Googled quite a bit, but sadly I didn't find anything useful :(

The Unit you specify in the mount file must be a combination of the Unit and LUN numbers, but I don't remember if it's UnitLUN or LUNUnit.

Anyway, if the card reader Unit = 0, and the card LUN = 1, the Unit you specify should be either 01 or 10.

So now I have gotten my external CD-Rom drive. Unfortunately I cannot seem to get it to work! It shows up when I check the SCSI mounter tool. But I can't get it to actually read any CD's. Could the problem be because I don't have a termination thingy connected to it? Or is there some sort of LUN conflict between the drive and the card reader? I can only set the CD-Rom to numbers between 0 and 6. And none of them seems to do any difference. And by the way, how is the Amiga suppose to react when you insert a CD?

I also noted a strange thing regarding the other matter. On the Better WB website, under the list of new and enhanced features it says:

"-Support for FAT and FAT32 volumes is achieved with fat95"

So why isn't it working when it is included already? And where do I go then to change
the device and unit fields?

fat95 won't help here, since the FAT filesystem is not used on CD-Rom discs. But you should have a file in the "L" dir which has CDFS in the filename, like AmiCDFS or CacheCDFS for example. Both are filesystems that can be used with CD-Roms.

As for the mount file, check if there's a CD0 file in either "Devs/DOSDrivers" or "Storage/DOSDrivers". If not, are there any other file with "CD" in the name at these locations?
