I have used cd0: and it worked fairly well, but ended up opting for
AsimSoftware - I found a 2.0 version on sale at a Denver retailer for $5
when version 3.0 came out, so I couldn't resist!  It works extremely well
and has some nice features as well..not sure what more 3.0 does...anyway I
use an Apple powerCD and swap it back and forth between the the Amigas and
the Mac all the time.
