- On the A3000 use a program called SCSI PREFS (available via Aminet or on FF).
- This turns on multiple luns. Then, use AmiCDROM as it is the only driver that
- really works with this player (I tried 4 versions of Asim and finally tried
- the 'FREE' AmiCDROM with very pleasant results...)
-
- To use the multiple luns you would change your dosdriver to look for unit
- 01,11,21,31,41,51,61.... (first number being lun, second being SCSI device
- number)
