Ok, here is a vote from me and and a friend (two votes) that we would by
CD-ROMS of FISH disks. Heck we could use one right now if there was a way.
We are looking for a tape with fish disks on it right now, so we can put
it on our hard drives for our BBS users to access. You couldn't help us
with that could you? We have an Exabyte 8mm tape drive.

While I have your attention, I could use some help. You said your company
has several optical/floptical style drives hooke up to your amigas?
Can you help me get one working on ours? Here is what we have:

Amiga 2000
2091 Disk controller rev 4 modified

The optical drive:
RICOH read/write optical drive (300meg per side)


The software that came with the 2091 controller wouldn't set up the drive
correctly. We put in the correct information by hand but it didn't seem
to save the information on the drive. When we rebooted, AmgigaDOS did not
see the drive. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
