Hi:
Thank you for your advice. I will buy a new cd drive.


My external CDRom died recently (PCMCIA interface). To be honest, I have found the NIC I put in there afterwards a lot more useful :)

Hi Karlos:

what is a NIC mean?
Thanks !!!


Sorry, must remember to reduce the abbreviation :)

Network Interface Card/Controller (depending on your preference).

In this case a basic 10Mb network card. Having lost the CD is not much of an issue since I can create a samba share for the CD on another machine and mount it on the amiga over the network.

It's pretty damn handy :)
