(most Amiga CDs come this way) MacHFS := reads Apple Macintosh HPFS CDs CD³² := comes with a CD³²-Emulator, s.b. CDTV := comes with a CDTV-Emulator ¹the bsc tandem comes with a spezial version of CacheCDFS ²I=ingokal := Mixed-Case is displayed but not used (like Amiga OFS/FFS) ³G=gokal := Mixed-Case is displayed and used. The filename 'test.c' is not equal to 'Test.c' or 'TEST.C'. This may cause problems with amiga-based programs. Ingokal use therefore may cause problems with Unix where gokal filesystems are used.
Except for AmiCDROM, AmiCDFS which are PD and AmigaCD (which comes with the V40 packages) all drivers are commercial 'pay-ware' and come packed with differnt up-to-date CDs. They have several utilities like Audio-CD- player, SCSI-Inquiry tools, PhotoCD reader etc.
Beware the AmigaCD driver. it's rather old and buggy. The better choice is at all times AmiCDROM.
The special adaptors for A1200 and A4000 IDE-drives come with a special driver that interfaces the matching device directly. You don't have to buy them seperately.
