Message-ID: Date: 23 Aug 90 08:14:14 GMT Sender: uucp@ncr-mpd.FtCollins Distribution: comp Organization: NCR Microelectronics, Ft. Collins, CO Lines: 11 I just saw an ad for an erasable optical drive for the Amiga. Question: Would it be possible for the same drive to provide CD ROM functionality (compatible with the CDTV)? Is this only a matter of providing compatible functions in the whatever.device, or is there some physical incompatiblity?
