Welcome to the NEC CDR-25! I used it on my A3000 (same probs as you) and my
A2000 until it broke.
Thank goodness.
Then I replaced it with a Chinon and have had no problems.
But…here some tips:
– I used ASIMWare CD software.
– Let everything "quiet" on the SCSI. The NEC seemed to hang if I went too fast
with the mouse. So I took everything nice and slow…
– I turned on the CD _after_ the computer was up and running. Put in a disk and
_waited_ again. Then I executed a "dir cd0:" command. That usually brought up
the CD-ROM icon.
However, the NEC would still "lose it" after a while. The ASIMWare docs stated
that the NEC-25 has a weird SCSI interface that's not quite compatible with the
Commodore hardcard, so it may be the same the Dataflyer.
Good luck!

Interesting. I have an NEC CDR-25 and I've had no problems running it with my
2 internal Quantam hard drives using GVPScsi.device and AsimCDFS. I am able to
turn it on with my computer, with or without disc and it works fine.
Nick,
thanks for the reply, I suspected the scsi in the drive might be the prob
since all the cdrom filesystems availible here acted the same,, I think I'll
just find someone local who can use it.
thanks again,
