Scsi Cdrom
Need some guidance with a problematic CDROM please.
SCSI chain = BPPC - CDROM (UNIT 5) -HDD (UNIT 2)- Terminator. My HDD works perfectly. SCSI Config shows both devices. I also have an IDE HDD and an IDE CDROM as CD0: With a CD in the SCSI drive I can select Mount and Start from SCSI Config. However the CDROM is never read, it is always (after a long delay) reported as a NONDOS disk. Without a CD in the drive, SCSI Config Start option Returns a drive error Is there another way to mount this CDROM? Do I need to change the chain order? The SCSI CDROM can be Terminated with Jumpers. Would this terminator be sufficient to terminate the whole SCI chain? |

I am quite sure that SCSIConfig cannot mount CD drives. You have to install a CD file system like AmiCDFS, CacheCDFS or AsimCDFS. Or enable the CD Mount function in the BPPC's BIOS menu (hold down the Esc key after a reset).

Thx Thomas, my mistake it was Unit Control that I was trying...
I will look at the bios menu. Do you think the SCSI chain is set ok? |

UnitControl can't mount CD drives, either. The mount button is for hard drives, only.
