Hi all!

Thought I’d ask for advice on here for a change

Got myself a couple of IDE/ATAPI Iomega REV 36GB drives with cartridges.
Have set this up on Amiga by using the “rev” mountlist off Aminet and placed into Devs DOSDrivers.

Plugged the unit up via my primary IDE port on my A1200 tower (Tower boots up and uses SCSI HDD etc..).

I’ve managed to get the Amiga to see the REV drive and cartridge.

Now the fun part. I believe the REV drive is identified as a CDRW in the PeeCee world?
As Amiga OS 3.9 Toolbox is telling me it can’t setup on this device and the initialised cartridge showing up on my Amiga Workbench desktop refuses to format 32GB with “Disk Write Protected”. Can these be used on the Amiga in any shape or form? I.e do I need some sort of CD software to blank the media and to write data to it?

I’m using Kickstart 3.1.4.

Cheers
