- I just got a Media Vision ReNO CD-ROM Drive today, and have some
- questions; and I'd especially like to hear from anyone who also has this
- drive. First of all, I have an Amiga 3000 with 3.1 and am using its'
- "standard" CD driver.
-
-
- 1) With the drive installed my hard drive light constantly blinks. I
- take it for granted that this is related to the SCSI bus checking the
- CD-ROM drive..... Is it normal and do all drives do this?
-
- 2) Right now I only have two CDs to play with. One, the Grolier
- Electronic Encyclopedia, seems to work flawlessly, except that the CD icon
- never leaves the screen once the disc is inserted (...even after the disc
- is removed); while the other, BCI Clip Art & Fonts, acts normally, with the
- CD icon appearing and disappearing as the disc is inserted and removed. Is
- there any reason for this?
-
- 3) For playing audio CDs, which Amiga player would you recommend?
-
- 4) Is tha Amiga CD driver fine, or are there benefits to using the
- Shareware or commercial drivers? If so, which driver do you recommend?
-
- 5) For those who /do/ have this drive, I presently have the DIP
- switches set to 1-OFF & 2-ON (...I was a bit unclear from reading the
- manual which were the proper settings). Correct?
