#Amiga & CD Rom???
I haven't been at Aegis in 18 months, but if I see John, I'll say hi. As
to CD-ROM, the two major formats of CD-ROM are High Sierra and ISO 9660
(very similar). These are supported on the Macintosh and PC (and other
systems). Now I've seen Amiga software that lets you treat a MS-DOS format
disk as a normal Amiga disk. I.E. sort of like Dos2Dos, but stuff that
actually runs in background and/or replaces the standard file system for
that drive. The same thing should be possible for CD-ROM. The physical
connection could be SCSI. Typical CD-ROM titles might have images in TIFF
format so reading them isn't a problem. A title like Groliers Ency. might
also need a retrieval engine. Alot of CD-ROM stuff is just files (clip art
etc..). So it could be quite usefull to read IBM/Mac CD's. The standard
format situation is really unique (when compared to floppies) and is worth
supporting.
