I don't have specific references available, but I've seen some that
worked from the ever-popular SCSI...an ideal situation, since *everything*
supports SCSI. You may have to write a device driver, but on the Amiga
this is almost trivial, especially for SCSI and especially if you start with 
with one of the public domain SCSI drivers.

Are you talking CDROM or WORM or what?
