You have a SCSI superdrive. I know there are IDE cards for the GS, but I
know NOTHING about them. I'd expect them to perform the same tho.
I'm not sure how you're going to write to the superdisk in a fashion that the
GS can read. You *might* be able to format the superdisk on your PC
as an ISO9660 or a MAC CD, and then put the disk in the superdrive on the
GS before you power it up, so it thinks it has a CDROM mounted. Might.
CDROM support is a little dicy on GSOS, and whether the file system driver
will deal with a non-standard disk size I have no idea. That's what I'd
try first though.
If you have a CDROM burner, I'd be far more inclined to try burning a CD
and reading THAT on the GS, but I never tried that either.
Hello, all:
I'm looking to transfer some files from my PC to
my //gs. I could do it
wit
h a null-modem cable (for which I need the 8-pin DIN to DE9 pinout). I could
also do it with a Superdrive connected to the //gs. Anyone have any experien
ce with an external Superdrive? What do I need on the gs side? I have a ROM0
3 gs with System 6.0.8.
