How will a USB Blu Ray drive work with MorphOS?

I've tried to ask this at MorphZone, but it seems that noone knows or cares to share.

Do you guys know?

You can't use bluraydiscs if I understand it well. But I do wonder: does it read DVD and CD's under MorphOS a bluray drive ?

You can buy an USB Bluray drive ?

I'm wondering about the exact same thing. I'm considering picking up a Samsung ODD external USB blu ray player, and want to use it on my mac, pc and as CD/DVD drive on the efika.

Can a USB Blu Ray player work as a CD/DVD drive with MorphOS?

I am quite sure that every optical drive can be used as CD drive on an Amigaoid operating system.

I think that no UDF file system exists for MorphOS, so you won't be able to extract files from BD disks. But it should recognise that a disk is inserted and show a CD0:Unformatted icon on the desktop.

CDs and DVDs with ISO9660 file system should work fine.

Thanks for a fast reply Thomas!
