A1200 / Blizzard 1230IV / CD Rom Problems - Please Help
 

Hi,

I am really in desperate need of help here. I have an Amiga 1200 in a tower with a Blizzard 1230IV and am unable to get the CD Rom working. Ideally what I need is a total idiots guide to this.

I have installed Workbench 3.1 and then in tools that came with the Blizzard hardware. This was the blizzard Accelerator SCSI System Disk. It installed various tools within a CyberSCSI folder.

Running Unit Control, it tells me the following about my CD Rom.

Board 0 Unit 6 Lun 0 CD-ROM CDU-76S 16cd0:.1c

From here I can suscesfully Eject themo CD Rom.

I have followed the instructions to the letter with regards to this CD and installing AmiCDFS but it absolutely will not see any CD's that are put into the system.

The contents of CD0 are:

Device = scsi.device
Unit = 6
FileSystem = L:AmiCDFS
Flags = 0
BlocksPerTrack = 32
Blocksize = 2048
Reserved = 0
LowCyl = 0
HighCyl = 11000
Surfaces = 1
Buffers = 64
BufMemType = 1
Mask = 0x7fffffff
GlobVec = -1
Priority = 10
DosType = 0x43444653
StackSize = 600
Mount = 1
Control = "LC BL=8 FB=32"

...any help that anyone can give would be greatly appricahted. I am at my witts end here.

AFAIK the Blizzard SCSI kit uses 1230scsi.device and not scsi.device. The latter is for the internal IDE controller.

Yay!

Thomas, indeed you are 100% correct.

I changed the entry in the settings and it's working perfectly now.

Many thanks for your help with this. :) :) :)

It is YOU Harvey, you could have asked me by email and I would have willingly helped.

Of course I knew that one ;)

Hehe! Well I was only just back after being away for a while.

I saw the message that you'd left your CD in the drive and thought I'd sort that out before approaching you for help on stuff! Didn't want to come across as taking the p**s!

Glad to see you've sorted it Harv.

I hope it performs better than the 2x(!) SCSI drive I occasionally attach to my A1200 :D

It works well ones it decides that it wants to do something, however folders with many items in it seems to take an age with. Not overally bothered TBH as I just wanted the functionality!

Just the internet to sort now... :hoo
