Does anyone know what hardware/software is necessary to interface a 2000 with SCSI and a VideoDisc or CD-ROM player? Some software packages (VIVA, AMIGAVISION) reviews talk about it, but no one seems to be advertising the hardware. —–Paul—–

Many Videodisc players have RS-232 ports on them, so no additional hardware is needed; just software. —Mike

Paul, when you use an industrial style laser disk player, they come with a standard rs-232 port. AmigaVision supports about a dozen different players, and all it takes is a null modem cable to connect it to your Amiga's serial port. I use a Sony 1200 at home, and a Sony 1550 at the office. Both work fine… -Lou
