Title: AmiCDFS help needed
Post by: on April 07, 2003, 09:33:20 AM

I've been trying to install CD-Rom for quite a while but no success so far. My setup - A2000, FastRam2000, EvolutionSCSI, Conner 1GB HD, Yamaha CDR400tx (WB 2.05, recently upgraded to 2.1), AmiCDFS 2.4 (downloaded form aminet).

On WB 2.05 my /devs/MountList had this entry:
cd0:
FileSystem = L:AmiCDFS
Device = evolution.device
Unit = 4
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 = 0x43444653
#

I got message - 'SectorsPerTrack' is not a valid keyword. So I replaced:
SectorsPerTrack = 1
SectorSize = 2048
with:
BlocksPerTrack = 1
BlockSize = 2048

When I "mount cd0:" and try to acces it "dir cd0:" I get: CD0: is not a directory, directory not found.

If I try to setup AmiCDRom with Installer I get: unable to open your tool 'Installer'.

After I installed wb2.1 (mountlist was empty), I copied cd0 icon to Storage/DosDevices (can't remember directory name) and added this entry:
Startup = "evolution.device 4 ROCKRIDGE LOWERCASE TRACKDISK"
After I "mount cd0:" and try to acces it "dir cd0:" I get: CD0: is not a directory, directory not found.
I also added the above lines from previous mountlist to cd0 icon - and I got same result.

After I create MountList in wb2.1, with above lines and try to "mount cd0:" and try to acces it "dir cd0:" I get: CD0: is not a directory, directory not found. or dir: bad loadfile hunk

In each scenario when I enter: cd cd0: or dir cd0: the light indicator on CDR starts flashing. There must be some comunication between A2000 and CDR.

Also when I run "scsidevs -devolution.device" HDD entry is displayed and CDR is not.

CDR is external, terminated and has id 4. Any suggestions? This is to much for me so I desperatly need help.

Just read the docs. There is a detailed description on how the mount file has to look like in the guide. There is also a sample CD0 file contained in the archive. Yours looks totaly different.

This is the correct archive: http://uk.aminet.net/aminetbin/find?amicdfs2

There is no installer in it but it is very easy to install. You might also want to read the second section of this document in order to see *how* easy it can be: http://home.t-online.de/home/thomas-rapp/uaescsi.html

Bye,
Thomas

@Thomas

In the manual isn't discribed how I should edit cd0 file. I edited cd0.icon through workbench but I can also try it with this: "ed devs:dosdrivers/CD0".

When I edited cd0.icon I added this line:
Startup = "evolution.device 4 ROCKRIDGE LOWERCASE TRACKDISK"
It didn't work so I added everything else I had in mountlist before.

In manual there is nothing more than this:
The 'Startup' field in the MountList is a string with the following template:
D=DEVICE, U=UNIT/N, C=CHIP/S, F=FAST/S, DMA, ANY, RETRY/S, L=LOWERCASE/S, ML=MAYBELOWERCASE/S, R=ROCKRIDGE/S, T=TRACKDISK/S, MI=MACTOISO/S, CS=CONVERTSPACES/S, SV=SHOWVERSION/S, HF=HFSFIRST/S, SB=STDBUFFERS/K/N, FB=FILEBUFFERS/K/N, DE=DATAEXT/K, RE=RESOURCEEXT/K, SI=SCANINTERVAL/K/N, PC=PLAYCDDA/K, X=XPOS/K/N, Y=YPOS/K/N

Die loesung an deine Web Seite is fur WinUAE, Ich weiss nicht ob mir das hilft. Ich habe mehrmals AmiCDROM.guide gelesen und auch das probiert -> I habe cd0.icon editiert und das geschrieben:

Handler = L:AmiCDFS
Stacksize = 10000
Priority = 5
GlobVec  = -1
Mount = 1
Startup = "evolution.device 4 ROCKRIDGE LOWERCASE TRACKDISK"

Soll Ich machen was in AmiCDFS.guide steht? ->

Step 1: Copy the supplied Mount and SetPatch commands to C.
Step 2: Copy SetCDFS to your C: drawer.
Step 3: Copy AmiCDFS to L:.
Step 4: Copy the CD0: mount entry file to DEVS:DOSDrivers and edit it as described in the next section.
Step 5: Copy def_CDDAdisk.info to ENVARC:sys/ if you wish to use CDDA disks. Set the Default Tool as described in a later section of this manual. If you are still using Kickstart 2.x copy WBStart-Handler to L:, else copy wbstart.library to LIBS:.
Step 6: Copy MCDPlayer wherever you want.
Step 7: Reboot your machine.

Your CD-ROM Mount file (e.g. DEVS:DosDrivers/CD0) should look like this:


        /* $VER: CD0 2.40 (14.12.97)
         *
         * CD-ROM filesystem mount entry
         */

        Device          = evolution.device
        Unit            = 4
        FileSystem      = L:AmiCDFS
        Flags           = 0
        BlocksPerTrack  = 32
        BlockSize       = 2048
        Reserved        = 0
        LowCyl          = 0
        HighCyl         = 11000
        Surface         = 1
        Buffers         = 64
        BufMemType      = 1
        Mask            = 0x7fffffff
        GlobVec         = -1
        Priority        = 10
        DosType         = 0x43444653
        StackSize       = 600
        Mount           = 1

        Control         = "LC BL=8 FB=32"

        /* Control field template:
         *
         * LC=LOWERCASE/S,CS=CASESENSE/S,
         * LN=LONGNAMES/S,HF=HFSFIRST/S,TD=TRACKDISK/S,
         * BL=BUFFERLINES/K/N,FB=FILEBUFFERS/K/N,
