AsimCDFS patches

[spirantho]

Hi everybody,

I'm setting up an A4000 with OS3.9, and it runs the ATAPI CD-ROM drive just fine... with AsimCDFS. With the OS3.9 scsi.device, however, it gets read errors. Now, this is probably just a set-up issue somewhere, but I'd like to know anyway....

Is it possible to download the patches for AsimCDFS to patch my (fully bought and registered) AsimCDFS v3.5 up to v3.10? Obviously the FTP site you could download them from has gone, and it was password protected, so the Wayback Machine can't get to it either.

Can anyone help? Maybe we could upload the patches to the Aminet now? I very much doubt Iomega would care...!

Thanks if so!

As much as anything else, I want to use AsimCDFS because I can (it was quite expensive back in the day!), but does also offer some advantages. The AsimCDFS patches update the asim_atapi.device and improve the CD32 emulation as well, though, which can be useful.

interesting about the CD audio... but I'm not likely to be listening to CDs on it.

I think CacheCDFS is the one you may be thinking of, as I don't believe that start off life as free. AsimCDFS always had lots of goodies with it though like per-CD icons and stuff, and proper disk changing support, the ability to rip audio in just about any format just by accessing the audio CD as a filesystem, that sort of thing.
Looks like I just need to find 3.8 up to 3.10 now. I think these should probably be uploaded to the aminet now, if we can find them....

Yes, still looking for those patches, thanks for the offer!

Perhaps we could upload them to Aminet? They were originally restricted by needing the serial number, but I don't think Iomega would really care now somehow....
