Some additional options...
1) I have an A1200 with SCSI adapter, but I'll have to look for a working
external CD rom.
2) I have a CDTV and CD32 that would work.
CDTV is a neater solution. I can bring my CDTV, black keyboard, black floppy
drive and black mouse... anyone got a black 1084 they want to sell me?
Steve

Depends.. Does your A600 have an added SCSI interface? Standard 600's use IDE
hard drives and only have a PCMCIA port. Amiga CD's are ISO 9660 so you should
be able to read it on a PC, but then you'd have to write the files to Amiga
Floppy, so you'd need CrossDOS.
I have an Amiga 2000 with CD-ROM drive that I could bring.

Hi all,
A request for Thursday. I picked up a network card for my Amiga 600 to
experiment with Amiga networking (a new topic for me), and the software was
supplied on...a CD-ROM <facepalm>.
Does anyone have an external CD-ROM that would work on an Amiga 600 that I
could borrow for the evening to get the software installed?
(Or is there a better way?)
Thanks
-Leif
