Hello from Singapore,

I have tried connecting a Sony 640MB Optical drive to the Atari TT via
SCSI port as well as to the Mega4 via DMA/SCSI adapter last night. 

I cannot get  both computers to recognise the drive with ADHI program,
obviously I will need a proper driver to format the Optical Cartridge
as well.for . 

Is there a Formatter/driver programs available anywhere? Either
commercial or shareware is fine for me?  

Would the software supplies with the new ICD LINK hard disk adapter
support 640MB (5-1/4") Optical drive? I would not mind buying a LINK if it
works.

Another possible cause may be that the Optical drive that I have is set
with Parity enable. (I know from my pass experiences with connecting
Syquest and other hard disk to Atari that I have to disable Parity of
the hard disk to get it to work) My next (and last) question is which
jumpers on the SONY optical drive is for Parity setting.

Any suggestion would be much appreciative,
