But you'd be wasting your money. A parallel port CD-ROM drive is so slow… for both your PC and hypothetically for the Amiga. I've never heard of one for the Amiga, aside from people who use ParNET to link a CDTV to an Amiga, which is almost the same thing. You really want to use a SCSI interface drive. Yes, they cost more, but parallel port drives cost more than the super-cheap proprietary interface drives you see for the PC. You probably already have a SCSI interface on your Amiga. It's not hard to add one to your PC. I saw the Corel SCSI software selling for $70 at CompUSA the other day. You can get a SCSI card for about the same amount of money for the PC.
