IDE-fix '97 is the all-new "all in one box" solution for all your IDE problems!
Also very useful for owners of SCSI CD-ROMs!!!

ATAPI:
Allows you to use ANY ATAPI device with your Amiga, including
ANY ATAPI 1.2 compliant IDE/ATAPI CD-ROM, LS120 ATAPI Floppy drive,
TORiSAN ATAPI CD-ROM changer, NEC 4x4 changer and more!!!!
Supports reading of CDDA data from IDE port (requires MakeCD or
similar ATAPI CD-Reader program).

ATAPI CD-ROM changers:
ATAPI drivers and CacheCDFS are modified to support ATAPI changers
like TORiSAN and NEC changers. You can either use a seperate changer
utility to change to the desired disk, or you can mount each disk
seperately! This is a great advantage for BBS systems!
