- Does anyone know if it is possible to use a SCSI WORM drive on an Amiga
- 2000 or 3000? If on the 2000, then with which SCSI controller? Does
- ANY controller manufacturer explicitly support WORM drives?
-
- It would seem to me that special support would be needed to make the
- drive look like a regular hard drive ("deleting" files by hiding them,
- etc.). But if all I do is copy stuff to the drive and then just read it,
- might it work without any special support, since after all it IS a
- block-oriented SCSI device?
-
- Any help at all on this matter would be greatly appreciated!!!
