Hello,

I just got myself a Squirrel SCSI adapter + a scsi CDROM in an external enclosure. I have tried to install it, but it seems that the Squirrel is not detecting the drive.

Are there any particular settings I should put on the CDROM? There is quite a number of jumpers.

The settings are currently as follows:

Parity: Enabled:
ID: 1
Termination: Enabled

Thanks in advanced!

Hi,

The Squirrel software can install the CD ROM Dos Driver into Storage/Devs/DosDrivers, so it may need to be moved into Workbenchevs/DosDrivers.

I'm running OS 3.9 and my CD ROM Dos Driver is as below,

/************************************************** *************/
/* CacheCDFS mountlist entry © 2000 Amiga Inc. */
/************************************************** *************/
FileSystem = L:CacheCDFS /* The name of the game */
Device = "squirrelscsi.device" /* Name of exec device driver */
Unit = 3 /* exec device unit */
Flags = 0 /* OpenDevice flags */
BlocksPerTrack = 351000 /* Unused */
BlockSize = 2048 /* True, but unused */
Mask = 0x7ffffffe /* Memory mask for direct read */
MaxTransfer = 0x1000000 /* Maximum amount of bytes for direct read */
Reserved = 0 /* Unused */
Interleave = 0 /* Unused */

Buffers = 500 /* Number of cache lines */
BufMemType = 5 /* MEMF_PUBLIC */
BootPri = 2 /* Boot priority for MountCD */
GlobVec = -1 /* Do not change! */
Mount = 1 /* Mount it immediately */
Priority = 10 /* Priority of FileSystem task */
DosType = 0x43443031 /* Currently unused */
StackSize = 3000 /* Minimum stack required is 3000! */
Control = "MD=0 LC=1 DC=8 L LV AL LFC=1 S NC AUDIO=Utilities/PlayCD"
/* The Control field is for special adjustments */
/* L/S convert all file/volume names to lowercase */
/* LV/S convert volume names to lowercase */
/* AL/S Auto-Lower converts only non-Amiga CDs */
/* LFC/N start converting at this character */
/* LC/N/A number of blocks per cache line */
/* DC/N/A number of cache lines for the data cache */
/* MD/N/A number of blocks, when starting direct read, not using */
/* the cache. 0 will be a reasonable default (LC*DC+1) */
/* S/S Do SCSI direct commands, no Trackdisk like commands! */
/* NC/S Do NOT use TD_ADDCHANGEINT, poll for DiskChange! */
/* M/S Issue a TD_MOTOR (OFF) command after read */

Most CD ROM drives are set to unit no 3, check yours is set on the back of the drive.

Also, you need to run Workbench:SquirrelSCSI/SCSIMounter/ with a CD disk in the drive and it should be found.
