- I've done it fine on a rev 9.3 A3000 with AmigaDos3.1 and it's plain
- no frills CD0: device, using an NEC 3xp portable CDROM drive. No
- problems, the workbench recognizes most cd's I have, and mounts them
- automatically witouht having to manualy mount them using something like
- the pd util SCSItester/Mounter (sorry I forget the correct name...) I
- think the scsi problems with the A3000 center around that Western
- Digital SCSI chip. Maybe I have a really recent one, I got my A3000
- used and it had a High density floppy, maybe this makes it one of the
- last A3000's made. I also have an Early superkickstart A3000 that I
- havent had a chance to test the cdrom on yet.
- Good Luck!!
