- Yes, it is possible to do so with proper drivers and a CDROM drive with an
- IDE interface (not the cheapo non-standard junk). Check out ATAPI on Aminet.
- You'll have to pay some $$$ to get the commerical version.

- You can dig out the specs and write your own code (and sell it too) if you
- wish. For IDE specs, check out the ftp site:
-
- ftp.hmpd.com /pub/standards/io/ata
- /ata2
-
- I would suspect it would be in the ata2 directory.
