Hello Clarence, >> There is isn't that much information associated with either products when one reads the ad. The only caption placed for each product is that "they are CD32 >> emulators". I called both mail order companies that placed the ad in AmigaWorld and both basically said "We don't have any information on the product,… call >> back sometime in the next couple of weeks" and that's about the extent of it. I have however, read and ad someone posted on the one of the Amiga usenet >> groups claiming to have another CD32 emulator. If I remember correctly, (don't quote me on this one) : >> a. Runs on AGA machines (both 1200 and 4000) Yep! >> b. compatible with any SCSI-II CD drives Yep! And IDE/ATAPI and Mitsumi drives. >> c. emulates the CD32 controller either on keyboard or joystick Yep! >> d. allows CD32 disk boot ups Yep! >> If this product does this and gives you a good sound Akiko support for a 90 – 95% compatibility, The Akiko support is moderate (you need a fast Amiga) and only works with Kickstart 3.1 >> just release a list of proven compatible CD32 ddiscs and let me know who is marketing it, I'm game ;^) Uff, I tested a lot. Only some from Core Design, Ltd. and Wing Commander failed. Can't figure out why. Microcosm, Pirates! gold, D/Generation, Diggers, Oscar, Labyrinth, Pinball Fantasies (with CDDA Audio), Morph, James Pond III, Dangerous Streets and a lot more I can't remember worked, all tested with an A1200 and an A4000/40. >> All I'd need now is a MPEG/FMV board (in the $200 – $400 range) and I'm happy camper. My Emulator does not support MPEG/FMV. >> BTW, this particular product, I believe comes from someone in Germany??? Are we talking about the same thing here???? After some investigation I found out that Blittersoft IS selling my product. So we are talking about the same toy. BTW, this product is a very nice CD-Rom File System. The CD32 Emulation is just a "feature". The "CacheCDFS" offers you fast and effective "Last Recently Used" caching with or without prefetch, reads Amiga (ISO-2), PC (ISO-1), Unix (RockRidge) and MAC (HFS) CDs. Supports Multi-Session and Photo CDs. Comes with a small (!) CDDA Player and other Utilities. Using the FileSystem without CD32 Emulation does not require AA/AGA machines. Oliver
