- : Most IDE CDROMS will be to long to fit in your A4000. The Toshiba
- : 5402 is the perfect length, a quad speed and only cost me $89.00 US!!
- : Shapeshifter uses it fine with the empcd.device and the registered version.
- : The amiga side lets me read mac cds as normal devices also. Get IDEFix.

- I bought a Goldstar t`other day, which fits (just)..
- Thing is, it came with a separate audio wire, with a PC connector on the
- end that doesn`t fir into the pins on my Miggie (the ones next to the
- audio holes on the back)> Is there anywhere I can get a mig-compatible
- cable or the instructions on how to make one?
