Hi All, If you have or are going to get a CD-ROM here's something you may want to know. I have a NEC external CD-ROM drive and was going to hook it up to my 3000 but I needed, of course, some drivers. I was going to buy the Xetec or ASIMware drivers when I looked on Compuseve and – lo and behold – a public domain CD-ROM driver! It's in Lib 9 of AmigaUser – AMICD.LHA. I hooked up the CD-ROM to the Amiga and installed the driver – which is simple, add an entry to your Mountlist and copy the handler to Devs:. Worked perfectly the first time and continues to work perfectly. I now have access to my 3D-ROM and the AMINET CD-ROM (which shows as an icon on the Workbench!) from the Amiga. Try it!
