Yes, you can use DVD-RAM drives with your Amiga.

This will allow 2.6 GB and 4.7 GB per side DVD-RAM discs to be fully used
with your Amiga.

Supported FileSystems, FFS/SFS/CrossDOS/FAT95/Allegro.

*New*

MakeDrivers RDB (Rigid Disk Block) List Creator option.

You can now have bootable Multi-Partitioned DVD-RAM discs by using
MakeDrivers and a disc Prep program that supports RDB Lists.

I've also written and included 'RDBList_Prep', which can convert and write
a real RDB from a RDB List. It requires OS 3.5+ hdwrench.library !

*****

The 2.6 GB per side Version 1 DVD-RAM discs DOSDrivers have been tested.

I have also tested multi-partitioned Version 1 FFS discs with DiskSalv2,
this also works, DiskSalv2 however cannot handle a full sized disc
partition because it's larger than 2 GB.

This released is still a beta version, even though it still works well,
this is to allow for any unforeseen improvement or changes that maybe
needed, which could make these current drivers incompatible with a future
release.
