SCSI-2 CDROM
The NEC MultiSpin 3Xe works fine when hooked up to an A2091, even with the DIP
switch on the back of the drive set to SCSI-2. At the same time it was hooked
up to a quantum 105 and Fujitsu 530 MB (SCSI-2) hard drive (both used on the
Amiga), and was also connected to a SoundBlaster 16/SCSI-2 card used by the
386SX bridgeboard.
I use AmiCDROM v1.15 for the CDROM disk file system (AMICD.LHA from the
libraries). Seems to work okay.
The CDRom normally belongs to the soundblaster. I use the cable suppied with
the external CDRom (23 pin to the 50 pin connector) to connect the CDRom to the
A2091 when I want to use the CDRom on the Amiga. Just turn off the terminator
on the CDRom. The A2091 is still driving three terminators – the one on the
A2091, one on the furthest SCSI HD, and the one on the SoundBlaster. I don't
leave it connected all the time because I don't want to take the chance of
somthing going nuts on the BB wiping out my Amiga hard drives.
