Can't see any reason why not. Should work just fine! :-)
Yes, you can,
And I will talk you though setting up AmiCDFS too =D
although you would get a faster bndwidth via - SCSI as that will DMA straight to 24bit ram on the GVP - but you can always wait untill said SCSI CDROM pops up =D
In the package comming your way is 2 IDE Optical drives =D
cool, so i could run a small SCSI hd with the os on it, and chuck all my other stuff on a monster IDE hd?
most certainly can sir!
you can have upto 7 devices on the SCSI chain =D
(includes Optical Drives/ Harddisks / DAT drives / Networks & Scanners)
and can i use one of these http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SCSI-SCA-80-Pi...item2a022d759a
to use an 80pin scsi HD?
One thing Juzzer. IDE will load the CPU whenever you are accessing the hard drive. With SCSI, there is no CPU load so ideally, you should be trashing the IDE all together. ;)

i agree m8, but untill i'm flush again, i'm just thinking of temp measures, if that adaptor i linked to will work then i will be able to ditch the ide hd straight away :thumbsup:
Looks like it. I might have to get me one of those. I've got quite a collection of SCA SCSI disk drives. Still, it might be a squeeze to wedge a HD and adapter on to a hard card (There's nowhere else in the A2000 to put the hard disk, sadly)Quote:
