- We have tried hooking up SGI cdroms to the Amiga before without much luck,
- SGI has the cdroms shipped with a special rom. We have tried the CDROM-FS
- software as well as Xetec software (much better software). The Xetec software
- is worth the $60.00, it comes with programming tools, and several CD-Roms.
- I wrote my own juke-box player and am working on the auto-disk recognize and
- cataloging program. This is so the software will recognize which CD is inserted
- and only play the tracks I want it to play, automatically. There is a program
- that does this on your SGI I believe.
