Not necessarily. Since the A500 edge connector is disappearing, one of our dealers in the UK has cut the price from 300 to 147 pounds ($220 approx). Can I get a scsi CD that cheaply elsewhere? If so, I'll consider it. Otherwise, I need to find out how to hack it. Brian

Brian, Yeah I noticed this sudden price slash of the A570, I think your idea is kind of interesting. I know of no currently available SCSI CD-Rom drive in the UK for that kind of money. If it does turn out to be a SCSI rom drive I for one will be buying one. By the way its not only one dealer selling at those prices, I have seen it in the local shopping centres for the same price.

I'm pretty sure the A570 is not SCSI. Goin' AP …..Mark Sterling

Well, if it isn't SCSI, I suppose the next thing is, hacking together a cable which would plug into an a2000 bus. Does anyone think that that is a feasibility? Anyone looked inside one of these beasties? Brian

That's not a bad price! There are some that are cheaper, but with the A570, you get a "known to work with an Amiga" drive. IF they were that cheap here, I'd get one myself. 🙂 Bob Comer — Cruising the nets on AutoPilot
