- >> Firstly, I think all CD roms have standard dimensions, that
- means too long.
- My panasonic sticks out about 5mm from the front, but it looks
- quite nice.
- Try getting a double speed scsi but make sure you check it out for
- compatibility.
- You don't need a fast CDrom drive because we don't rely on having
- to load large
- volumes of data like the PC owners.
-
- The reason the CDrom sticks out is because the power pack comes
- too far forward
- inside the box. The cables on the back of the CDrom will push up
- against it.

- The Toshiba 5302 IDE (ATAPI) 4x CD-ROM is shorter than the others.
- It fits nicely into the A4000 without trouble.
- It works fine with IDEfix (see disk/misc/IDEfix.lha on Aminet), no
- Tandem is required.
