I'm considering a Yamaha 8424. I wandered into Future Shop and saw they
were offering them for $390 now, about $40 less than last time. Will have
to call my local Amiga retailer and ask for a quote again, as they were the
cheapest last time.
Anyone out there running a Yamaha 8424 with MakeCD? Asim said it wasn't
directly supported, but should work with MasterISO. (I have a P5
A2060/50MHz with 64M of ram too. Asim wasn't sure of any SCSI issues there).
MasterISO and AsimCDFS would cost me $150 to $170 retail here. MakeCD is
about $82, plus fees for getting a money order at the bank. Big difference.
MasterISO is a nice package, but the demo has crashed and invalidated a
drive a few times. Another reason for getting their product is the fact
they are located about 300 miles from here, in Hamilton. So they are in the
same time zone...
But it looks like their interest in Amiga products is waning. Too bad,
considering a lot of people I know have AsimCDFS, and got it years ago. I
know they sold off a lot of their Amiga equipment a few years ago.

>I Yep.
