- Well, it was rather simple. The Mitsumi FX-400 and the Aztech Zeta are both
- internal CD-ROMs using the standard IDE-Interface. (I don't know whether the
- Sanyo is either an IDE or an SCSI-CD-ROM.)
-
- So all I had to do was buying a new IDE- Cable (due to the fact that the
- distance beetween the connectors of the original one is to small) and connect
- both my HD and my CD-ROM with it. (Of course I had to set the jumpers for
- Master/Slave on both devices, not to forget to connect them with the power
- supply.)
-
- After switching on my A4000/030 and booting from my harddisk I installed a
- programm called IDEfix which includes an atapi.device driver that enables your
- Amiga to work with standard IDE-CD-ROMs. There exists a demo-version of this
- software on Aminet
- atapi.lha disk/cdrom 196K Atapi.device V9.3 Cache CDFS. CD32...

- If you want to play Audio-CDs with your Amiga you still have to connect the CD
- Audio port of the CD-ROM with the internal Audio Connector of your
- A3000/A4000. Either you do this by modifying the enclosed CD Audio Cable or
- you have to build one.
-
- The connectors should look like this:

- CD-ROM CD Audio Connector Amiga3000/4000 int. Audio Connector

- Sorry, I have never been good at drawing pictures. Heck, I'm a programmer not
- a graphic artist.
-
- Well, that's all folks. If you want to use your Zappo as an internal CD-ROM
- make sure it *really* is an IDE-CD-ROM. If you still have any questions just
- send me an e-mail.
