Hi Dan, >> Does anyone know any way around compatibility problems with an A570 CD-ROM drive? I recently purchased one and, although it apparently works with other machines, I can't get it to work with mine. My system specs: A500, powered by Bigfoot supply. Supra Ram 500RX memory expansion with 4 megs. Kickstart 37.175 Workbench 37.71 ICD Ad-IDE II hard drive controller with 250-meg drive CSA Mega-Midget Racer, 25 MHz 68030 CPU, 68882 fpu 1-meg Agnus << Is there anything "in between" the A500 and the A570? I am not sure, but it is possible that the A570 has to be configured first. (This was the case with the old A1000 Sidecar, too) Does the harddisk controller or the accelerator use the F00000 (and up) cartridge space for some ROM? This will cause problems, as the A570-CDTV ROM is located in this area! Hope this helps, Oliver
