- You will need a longer one, and it will probably need to be a 40-pin on one
- end and a 44 on the other (look at the CD-Rom drive's connector)

- You have OS 3.1 right? I thought that supported it automatically. If not, then
- try... AmiCDFS I think. I have it from an Amiga Format subs disk...
-
- >3. How do I check if it reads the different formats: CD-I,
- >Photocd, etc?
-
- Look in the manual. CDI I don't know about, but PhotoCD just needs a
- multisession CD drive. To read them you will need a program that can read
- them though... Try getting the _original_ Network CD from wierd science. that
- has a load of converters, and some demo images to try.
-
- >4. How do I make it CD32 compatible?
-
- I thought 3.1 supported it in the CD file system. Basically RTFM
