From an April BIX PR message for CPR: Contact: Allan M. Purtle (snapper@bix.com) Company: Canadian Prototype Replicas Phone: +1-519-884-4412 That looks like a US phone number but I've never called them. You could also contact Allan Purtle by Internet mail from CompuServe. // \X/ Amiga or bust! Gary Bonnstetter, Bonnsoft

It is a Canadian number. The US and Canada share the +1 country code. Or something like that. I never have to do any special dialing to reach Canadians. Dale L. Larson Intangible Assets Manufacturing (info@iam.com) "That's the best part about being crazy. You see things no one else can see."

Thanks Gerald, I left a message for "snapper" and was told that CPR no longer supports 1.3. I have given up the search for a CD driver that will work with 1.3. I guess my trusty A1000 will have to attain door stop status. (And my daughter's A500…) Ah well, I now have an A2000 wiuth 2.1 installed <trumpet sounds in the background> and that will have to do until next month when 2.1 is replaced with 3. whatever….. Seriously, now I have the CDROM player playing Eric Clapton (unplugged… ironically) and I guess that will have to be enough. :') If anybody can help with the 1.3/CDROM… I remain, Slogging Down the Digital Dirt Road …Going to Kansas City Hal

It really is time to upgrade that 1.3 machine… Dale L. Larson Intangible Assets Manufacturing (info@iam.com) "That's the best part about being crazy. You see things no one else can see."

My 2000HD now sports a 2.1 WB, a 540meg Hard Drive and a CDROM device, all installed in the last week or so…… It's Alive! (you may disconnect the electrodes, Igor !) I remain, Slogging Down the Digital Dirt Road …Going to Kansas City Hal

Hal – Where did you the 2.1 WB enhancer kit? Jeff Schweiger

Have you talked to Xetec about their CD driver? They recently sold the rights to a German firm, but a cheap phone call to 913-827-0685 would at least tell you if it worked under 1.3, and if so, they could refer you to the new owner. Worth a shot. Gary on AutoPilot from Charlotte, NC

I'm not using Xetec, but maybe I could check 'em out. The original thought was that I might be able to use a CDROM drive with my daughter's A500, or use it with ( perish the thought ) my original A1000 that I'm currently using to write this note. I figured that I might buy the stuff to get the old a1000 souped up a little to handle the load. Most folks advised me against it, but I still am harboring the hope. Thanks for the advice, As we say in KC, 'preciate it ! Slogging Down the Digital Dirt Road …Going to Kansas City Hal

Yeah, Hal. Try Xetec CD Rom FileSystem. I started using it on a Stock A500 then transfered it to my A1200.
