Can I use 'normal' PC DVD drives in the Amiga? I'm assuming so, they are
ATAPI drives aren't they? I do want the VHS's though, as well as the DVD's.
I'm a bit of an Aliens collector, see. :-)

I could just get the Alien Saga box set on VHS from Amazon, but I'd prefer
to get them separately, and hten get the box set too :-) Mad or what?

IIRC, from reading a review/faq in AF/AA, Allegro CDFS uses the hardware
code of Power Flyers to stop people pirating the CDFS software. That's why I
just stick to CacheCDFS :-)

Also, are there any other ways of adding a replacement serial port to my
Amiga that DON'T require a clockport, given that I don't have one? ;-(

Cheers,
