- Hi
-
- Having just bought a Mitsumi FX-400 quad speed CDROM, the problems are:-
-
- 1) Length - The power cable interferes with the power cable on your HD,
- unless you can move your HD into the top or bottom (depends, mine had to
- move up, someone with a Funai 6x said it had to move down) it might make
- the CD stick out about 1cm from the case. If you have two HD's this is
- more or less certain unless you get a shorter CDROM. The Toshiba SCSI
- 1542 (?) are shorter and can fit, but are not IDE (obviously!).
-
- 2) IDE cable - The standard CBM cable in an A4000 has, usefully, the two
- IDE connectors about 2 inches apart, thanks guys, helpful that. Just get
- a new cable, I did and it worked fine.
-
- 3) thats it so far, I'll try it with Shapeshifter soon.
-
- 4) Apart from I can't get it to run in double speed for things that require
- it, for instance a SCSI animation of Worms on the CU Amiga CD runs twice as
- fast as it is supposed to. Anyone?
