Well... it would have been smart if it worked :o( . > Speaking of such, there is an IDE version of the same TDK drive I > have. I think it's really made by another company with some visual > changes for TDK... I haven't got Samba to work with my Amiga and the Wintel box I have with Win XP. I've followed instructions from the Mediator page but it doesn't work (it explains how to do with some other version of Win). However, it would probably still be a better idea to use a burner connected to the Amiga. The best solution would be SCSI and secondly IDE. My old 4x Sony burner works fine with the internal IDE and it works with FastATA aswell but since it doesn't support DMA it makes the GUI in MakeCD freeze while it's burning allthough it works (no errors). Since it can burn in full speed (4x) with the internal IDE it's the best solution. SCSI is great but expensive so go for IDE if you can. The new faster burners will probably work but not at the full speed with the internal IDE so that could be something to think about. Hope all this helps somewhat??? :o) Regards /J�rgen Danielsson
