No CD-ROM Icon Appearing WB 3.1

[hamtronix]

OK. The saga continues...

Hardware:

A2000. GVP SCSI Controller. Yamaha CD/RW CDROM.

Software:

WB 3.1 . AsimCDFS 3

Story:

I wont get into to the whole thing. But I had gotten a bad diskette with AsimCDFS 3 on it. So I tried using DiskSalv to get the data. Which it seemed to do just fine. I made another disk and it seemed to install fine.

My CD0: appears correct when I use software to make sure its on the correct SCSI address, etc. It claims to be mounted. And I can see it in the AsimCDFS Preferences. But I get nop CDROM icon on WB. And when I have a disk in the CDROM (one I made only ISO 9660) it doesnt appear and I cant use CLI to get to it.

Any help?

Have you checked to make sure that the CD0 driver is in the System/Dev's drawer. If not it should be located in the Storage drawer.

Yep. AsimCDFS put the files into the appropriate places and I went back through and checked that they were put there.

IT has been years, but suggest you check the software. I do remember a "toggle" for do you want ICONS. I ran a BBS with 4 CD ROM changers, with AsimWare CDFS.   Ever see 28 CD's mounted?

Just try to reinstall it, make sure you select the right device also.

did that. didnt change anything. Could using DiskSalv have given me some corrupted files? If so, would it be OK to replace them with files from an older version?

One other thing, did you use novice setup when installing? there is a bug in installer if you use anything but novice setup.

Yep. It gives a warning which made me aware of that. Is there a way uninstall it through the software ?

What version is your gvpscsi.device? Older ones are kinda buggy, especially with removable media.

Just delete the Asimcdfs from user startup, delete the asim directory, then reinstall.

How would I go about finding that file and determining what version it is? I jsut looked over the SYS: and couldnt locate it. I thought it would be in DEVS: but no luck.

I just did a complete re-format and fresh install of WB 3.1 and just AsimCDFS3.5. It still appears to be OK (Its recognized, no errors, etc.) but I get no disk icon whether a CD is in or not. I checked the jumpers on my CDROM and they are correct...

Any new help?

No GVPSCISI.DEVICE existed in DEVS: Yet again, everything is fine except the ability to read CDROMs (so its kind of useless). I moved a file that was called GVPSCSI.AMHD from the floppy to DEVS: and renamed it GVPSCSI.DEVICE, it didnt do anything.

Would appreciate any more help. Im getting close to being at a loss...

Still trying to get this fixed:

Another question - After I boot up and then warm reset and then hold both mouse buttons down to get to the pre-boot selection screen should I see CD0: listed in the choose boot device screen

It is in the ROM on the SCSI card. It gets loaded into RAM on boot.

Open a CLI window and type "version gvpscsi.device" and it will tell you what ROM version you have.
