USB CDROM Deneb, what to look for?

[TheGoose]

Hey doers of Deneb,

I'm looking to add a USB CDROM on my deneb, how does this work? Do I need cdrom software and drivers? What should I look for / buy?

3.1 right now.

Yeah, it'll be just like configuring any other CD drive, except using usbscsi.device.

Oh ok, that makes sense. Thanks guys. I was going to order a very plain cdrom for all of 15 buck or so:

See if I might install AOS3.9 on my 3000D this way.

AmiCDFS it is then. I hate to abandon 3.1 but I got bigger HD here that would be better with 3.9; and the HD in there now is the original 100MB.

Let ya know how it goes...

I'm running 3.1 on my Deneb equipped A3000 w/ this super slim and sexy white notebook CD/DVD reader. USB of course and no AsimCDFS required. I think this is the one I bought. Works like a charm:

Goodness, that is naughty. I looked for a white one to match too, but only found more complex writers and dvds. Should get here this week...

:lol:

@TheGoose,

I wish I had known you needed one of these the other day when we did our back alley hardware trade. I have 4 of these in a drawer that I'm not using.

Ahhhh ! Man we just can't get on the same page, oh well just 15.00 bucks so no bigge. The monitor looks great BTW with the WB bumped up to 1280 x 1024 ! Dang my WB is sooo big it got it own zip code.

You need any help with Indi. Just let me know, seriously.
