Before I go spending even more money, can anyone confirm if the subway USB controller in conjunction with a 604n will work with a vampire as a quick way to add a slim external CDROM drive?

Notice that the product you are linking to is not being sold any longer (hasn't been for many years). RapidRoad is the replacement. I tried to connect an external optical drive to my RR but it would reset when it tried to spin up as there was not enough power available from the USB port so this is something that could be an issue. With the Subway, this can be dangerous since the USB current passes through the Subway and many people have burned their controller this way.Quote:

It will certainly work if you take care of the extra voltage that will be needed to power an external CD-ROM device, and a CD filesystem on the Amiga.
Thanks... Rapid road clockport for next month then.
Just a little early evening Amiga PRON for people :-)

Drool! nice looking bit of kit - still waiting for confirmation from Kipper2k on the Vampire 2 and also 8MB/CF board for Amiga 2000.
This is one of kippers, he does come through eventually but I can imagine he is inundated with emails and "spam messages" from people. I ordered this on January 18th so best part of 6 months, and I received 2 emails in that time. But alias its hereQuote:

I now have just over a month to get the machine ready for the Amiga Ireland event below where it will be available for demo, or just for a game of duke nukem 3d ;)

Will let you know how the install of os3.9 etc goes.
Edit:
OK please forgive me, I am a relative Amiga newbie! I am having difficulty finding details on getting classicwb 3.9 installed and working on the vampire equipped 600. My DOM boots fine on both the a600 and under winuae with 3.9 bb2 (no ROM update) but once I then apply Classic WB 3.9 it refuses to boot on the a600, the DOM still boots fine on winuae.
I have turned off as much of the additions as possible, and on the last attempt use only 16 colours. But it still won't boot on the a600 - just a black screen. Any ideas?
I haven't used those WB packs before--does it run SetPatch in your startup-sequence and reboot the system with the ROM update? If so, it sounds like the updated scsi.device isn't playing well with your DOM.
