- In some instances, certain CD-ROMS drives and SCSI boards are incompatible,
- especially older ones. I had purchased the NEC CDR25 for use with my
- A1200 to discover that the Dataflyer SCSI for the A1200 was not compatible.
- I shipped the Dataflyer back and (since I was intending to upgrade) got
- the DKB Cobra (w/ 030 and 68882 FPU) and the SCSI option. Along with the CDROM drive AsimCDFS was budled. There should be no problem if you have
- kick start 2.0 or greater
