PMC & CD ROM hassles continued.....
« on: January 01, 2005, 09:36:40 PM »
Much to everyone's frustration, I'm having yet more CD ROM hassles win WINUAE....  

Have created a Workbench partition from scratch, and have installed OS3.1 on it.  Works a treat.

However, my old friend the CD ROM access problem has raised it's ugly head yet again.

Following the instructions on the UAE support site I'm attempting to install a CD ROM file system on my UAE Workbench.  However CacheCDFS (as found on my OS3.9 CD that I can't access on the Amiga side yet), hangs every time I try and install it.

Same thing happens with IDEFix.

Have tried setting up my CD ROM as a hard drive in UAE and installing OS 3.9, but I can't figure out how to change my default UAESCSI device number to 0...

Can anyone help me before I go insane?

Hum,

What ROM are you using?
install CacheCDFS by hand...

in Devs: DOSDrivers  you have a CDO: Icon?
edit the icon information.

FileSystem   = L:CDFileSystem
Flags      = 0
Surfaces   = 1
SectorsPerTrack   = 1
SectorSize   = 2048
Mask      = 0x7ffffffe
MaxTransfer   = 0x100000
Reserved   = 0
Interleave   = 0
LowCyl      = 0
HighCyl      = 0
Buffers      = 5
BufMemType   = 0
StackSize   = 1000
Priority   = 10
GlobVec      = -1
DosType      = 0x43443031

/* The Device and Unit fields are controlled by tooltypes in the CD0 icon.
 *
 * Device   = scsi.device
 * Unit      = 2
 */

(this is what  i just use..)

Just load CD0 icon into Workbench using the Information entry under the Icons menu.  There will be an entry there for device=UAESCSI.device and unit=0 if that doesn't work try different numbers for unit between 0 and 7.
