You're using IDEfix... with a USB CD-ROM?  ...I'm so confused.

My .02 cents, if you can add a SCSI controller to your Amiga pick up a SCSI CD drive, they can be a PITA, but still easier than USB on Amiga.  As an alternative, add an IDE CD drive with something like a Fast ATA controller or a splitter cable (the "not safe" option), LOL.

Usb CD drive can work with usbscsi.device and a proper mountlist.
An USB burner can't work with MakeCD though. I still have to try FryingPan.

With a subway, it will be very slow anyway.

its gonna be a 2nd cdrom  with the ide dvd  ..it does show  in the trident  panel ..correct id  etc  ..i get the message of no class ..is there a usb driver  on aminet ? ..

I'd imagine it should be binding to massstorage.class. You might be able to force the binding. If it still doesn't work (and you can't access it through usbscsi.device) it could be a non-standard drive. Does it need special drivers under Windows? Try a different drive if you can.
