Amiga CD-RW Speed Compatibility

CU_AMiGA · 15 February 2007, 15:54

Hi

I was wondering how fast a CD-RW can the default ide interface of the Amiga 4000 handle?

Cheers

I used to have to burn 1x on my a1200 030.

I stopped using it.

Ive tried 8x cdrw burning on a4000/060, works good from image but dont try it on the fly

CU_AMiGA · 15 February 2007, 18:00

Cheers guys.

So 8x would be ok from an iso image. Am i right in guessing something like 2x-4x be ok for on the fly?

Regards

try it, burners now are burn proof anyway.. you will see if it had to use it many times in a burn..

Hi

Well my Amiga setup will be an A4000 with CSMK3 060 and 148mb (i think) if this helps.

Get a SCSIDE adapter and plug the CD drive into your SCSI chain in that case.

Just about all Amiga IDE solutions suck.

It should Fly CU_Amiga!

CU_AMiGA · 15 February 2007, 21:19

Well i have the SCSI thing on the CSMK3

Zetr0 · 15 February 2007, 21:26

then you need this little beastie for £14

i am even thinknig of getting one myself.

CU_AMiGA · 15 February 2007, 21:31

Well i haven't got a lead for the scsi thing yet. will this dvd thing work with my csmk3.

Zetr0 · 15 February 2007, 23:36

I cannot see why it wouldn`t as long as you have the right cables / terminators alll should be good!

CU_AMiGA · 15 February 2007, 23:46

Thats the problem. i have no cables or terminals whatever that is!

Zetr0 · 15 February 2007, 23:48

bad cu_amiga! very bad cu_amiga.... go get cables now!

killergorilla · 16 February 2007, 00:38

Have you been drinking Zetr0?

CU_AMiGA · 16 February 2007, 03:31

No cables came with my CSMK3. ;(

Can anyone offer any guidance?

Jope · 16 February 2007, 06:08

Get a 68pin SCSI cable that has a built in active terminator on one end and enough connectors for the devices you are planning to connect.

This is the exact brand/model I'm using

http://cgi.ebay.com/Brand-New-Adapte...QQcmdZViewItem

It's very flexible and easy to route and has built in active terminators at each end which you need with a CS MKIII or CS PPC

How much do SCSI-IDE adapters cost? And they make possible to connect an IDE drive to a SCSI-chain right?

Around 40-80€ depending on what model (UWSCSI, LVD etc) and used or new
Using both them in both my PC and two of my Amiga's..both 50 pin and 68 pin adapters...works like a charm
