Amiga CD-ROM Follow-up
3 messages in this thread
Attention Amiga-heads! I've got the official go-ahead from the AmigaWorld
editors to work on a successor to my popular article on CD-ROMs that
appeared in the March 1991 issue. This next one is scheduled for the August
1992 cover date.
From the correspondence it generated, it's apparent that I wasn't basic
enough for some people, and not detailed enough for others. For example,
this article will include more step-by-step directions about what you need
to do to add a CD-ROM drive to your Amiga. Also, I'll be more specific
about sources for interesting CD-ROMs.
A few developments will make this more interesting. CBM has shown their
CD-ROM drive, but isn't shipping it yet. In the mail today, I just got info
about a new CD-ROM driver that allows access to Mac HFS discs! That's
right, something we can do that the PC can't touch. 🙂
So, let's start a thread about the state of Amiga CD-ROM. tell me which
discs you're using, where you got them from, and what you did and didn't
like about the CD-ROM coverage you've seen so far, so we can fix it this
time 'round.
John, Nimbus has mastered many CD's for the Amiga/CDTV platforms.
Everything from Fred Fish to CDTV Xenon and lots in between. If I can be
of any assistance as far as mastering Amiga/CDTV Cd's and information on
how to send the data to a mastering facility give me a claa (800-782-0778).
John,
Great!!….we're currently not hooked up to a CD with any of our Amigas,
tho we have 2 DAK drives hooked up to PCs here in the office. We do have 5
Amigas on the network tho, and I'd love to get a CD-ROM on one of them.
