Scsi Cdrom & Cwb
Hi Guys,
I've got Classic WB lite running on my A2000/030/8MB with a GVP HC+8 Rom4.15 I've added a SCSI CDROM to the chain with ID=5 Ive put the CD0 device into my devs drawer with the following Tooltypes. ACTIVATE=1 DEVICE=gvpscsi.device UNIT=5 If I insert a CD it appears and reads fine, but I can't eject it at all, the eject button is ignored & i need to power the drive off & on to eject. Am i missing any additional step? The CD works fine with OS3.5 both insert, read & eject, except when trying to use "Playcd", I get "SCSI command error on gvpscsi,unit5" What are the recomended cachecdfs settings afa SCSI access is concerned Can I copy any bits over from OS3.5 to fix this.. Thanks for your answers. |

Smilar sort of setup and I use IDEFix (sounds strange I know).
With IDEFix it seems to work perfectly. Worth a go IMHO. M. |

Hi Thomas & Macca thanks for the help, @Thomas Not sure but it's the std CD0 file that is either supplied by Bloodwych on CWB 3.1 Full, or taken from my WB3.1 Storage floppy during CWB installation, I have viewed it, & it does have the script, CDROM driver file...etc, & options set by tooltypes..... Can try copying it over from my floppy again if you think it may help @Macca, I don't have IDEfix due to my using full SCSI setups on A2000/A500, toying with getting an 'Express' for my A1200 Cheers |

Thomas,
Thank you very much indeed, Will have a go at doing this over the next couple of days, It's very much appreciated, One small question, If I carry out the above on my 3.1 WB will I get a 'nag' screen everytime my system boots. If so then I will order an IDEFix express from amigakit for my A1200 and I believe that comes with a license key. Best Regards |

As long as you don't use any part of IDEfix (except the CDFSPrefs program) you won't get nag screens. |

Ahem,,,
@Thomas, Followed your instructions to the T, Not only does my CDROM work perfectly under Classic WB3.1 now, but I learnt a hell of a lot in the process too. Let me loose on an A1200 with IDEFix now.. Thomas you are the Filesystem Master Thanks @Macca Thanks very much.... you know why |
