I'd be glad to help if I can. I'm not sure I understand why you need 1.3
compatibility. If you have a CDTV, it has its own drivers for reading CDROMs.
If you want to try CDTV emulation on an Amiga, I'm only familiar with the Xetec
CDROM driver software, which included extra utilities (not necessarily found in
other packages) for emulating the CDTV's unique functions. The other day, I
heard that Xetec is no longer selling their CDROM drivers. (Probably because
the guy who wrote and supported them went to work at NewTek.)
If you do want to juggle 1.3 and 2.0 ROMs, you need a little adapter board. I
forget what they called them… but I do know I have one around here
somewhere, if you'd like to buy it for a very reasonable price. 🙂
