IDE-CD automount

[Aminator]

I have Amigakit 4xIde and idefix97 installed and the cd drive is working but it won't mount automatically when i insert CD.

Any suggestions?

What about "Devs:DosDrivers/"?

I have CD2 there and it mounts the cd when i doubleclick it, but i want the drive to mount automatically.

Just shove it in the WBstartup drawer then it will mount on boot

Well that works too
I was thinking too complicated, like having to edit startup-sequence or something.

Well, that will work around the problem, but it shouldn't be needed. DOSDrivers located in DEVS/DOSDrivers should be mounted automatically on boot, and if that's not happening it points at something being amiss with your startup-sequence. Are you sure it was in DEVS/DOSDrivers and not Storage/DOSDrivers?

Yeah I just gave him a quick and dirty solution but he needs to check that in the Icon info that in the `Default Tool` that the command C:MOUNT is present and that should sort it and he can leave it in Devs:

It's located in devs/dosdrivers not in storage, and the default tool is c:mount

If the CD2 you click is in the SYS:Devs\DOSDrivers path it should automatically mount the CD even if the icon is not present.

In any case you can also add the command in the User-startup, this:

Mount CD2:

The default tool setting isn't needed when it's in DEVS/DOSDrivers because Mount is explicitly called during boot, though the setting *is* needed when it's in WBStartup or for double-clicking it (which appears to work, so the setting is correct anyway). It sounds like the Mount line in the standard Startup-Sequence is missing or somehow otherwise ineffective.

I would check if IDEfix and Load4xIDEPrefs have to work this way or not. Is both needed or do they conflict?

The mound line seems to be ok. However, you can add "set echo on" on top of your S-S to see if something strange happens.
