Now that I have 'a few' small-ish IDE drives available (or soon to be),
I am thinking of moving one of the 2.5-inchers to my Model 4p, and freeing up the room taken up by the 2GB 3.5-incher in there...
Which makes me think... I SHOULD be able to put a CDROM in the slot once occupied by a SSDD 5 1/4 drive, and put the 'comparably-tiny' 2.5" drive 'piggybacked' to the end of it...
There will be little trouble connecting either the 2.5 or the CDROM, but other than testing it (with a program I got with the IDE controller), has anyone actually USED a CDROM with CP/M?
I can see the need for 'special' files for access, etc UNLESS the image can be written in a format that CP/M would accept...
