[Coco] Is there a way to Run a CD-ROM drive using something other than the SCSI cartridge pak?

[Mark Marlette]

If you don't want to use one with a ISO9660 format, then use the host of choice and toolshed or favorite tool.

  Even if it could read the CD, how would you format the CD???? Is there
  a utility available to format the CD and put software on it??? Just
  curious

    Kip,

    SuperDriver should work READ only on the Gside or sIDE interfaces.

    I don't remember if we tried that or not, but I know it supported
    ATA and ATAPI devices.

    HawkSoft's CDF file manager also a plus for the ISO9660.

    Hi Everyone,

    Does anyone know if there is a way to run a CD-ROM drive on the Coco
    1, 2 or

    3 using something other than the SCSI controller? I don't have a
    SCSI

    controller for the Coco, but after reading some of the CD-ROM emails
    lately,

    it occurred to me that I had never hooked up a CD-ROM drive to my
    Coco. I

    know it is possible to use the IDE Interface on a PC to run a CD-ROM
    drive

    so I was wondering if the same could be done with the SuperIDE
    Controller or

    the Glenside IDE Controller. Has anyone ever tried this before? Any
    help

    would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
