Key sticking
That would be wonderful. Those DAK products look too good to be true at
times!
Now, naive question time: Let's assume that I get a CD-ROM drive and
attach it via SCSI to my A2500. (the Xetek (sp?) drive, for instance, that
comes with Amiga drivers, FF disc, etc) I gather that I cannot use any of
the many IBMish CD-ROMs in it, correct? Is the reason: 1) because I cannot
read the data off the disc *at all* , 2) I can read the raw data, but
cannot interpret it cause it is in MS-DOS format?, 3) I can read the raw
data and get it to my amiga, but cannot interpret it cause it is encrypted?
Example: A CD-ROM with the complete works of Shakespeare. It has all the
text, probably organized by play, act, verse, etc…. probably indexed more
ways than Sunday. Well, if I hook it up to the system described above, can
I even sit there reading text? Can I get that far? Can I read an 'index'
on the disc that tells me where stuff is? Is all this a function of the
CD-ROM driver (which apparently is included in Xetek system), or of the OS
itself? As you can tell, I am very confused. 🙁
