Title: Genesis v. SquirrelSCSI
Post by: 6 on January 17, 2006, 03:05:54 AM

I've run into an old problem but cannot remember what to do about it.  I recently bought a cd-rw for my squirrel/A1200.  I have 2 A1200's, one was on ethernet cable and the other had the 2 old cd players on the squirrel but was taken apart so I brought the squirrel and cd-roms to the 1200 with the ethernet card in the card slot.  I have to connect these 3 cd's because of the scsi cables I have.  I cannot attach the cd-rw to the squirrel directly, it has the wrong connector.

I got no response when I tried to connect the squirrel so I reinstalled the squirrel software but it didn't work - 3 times.  I decided to  look online for updated squirrel software but now the ethernet connection won't work either. The message on Genesis was that cnet.device would not open. Years ago I installed the WB3.9 and later Genesis from these same cd-roms.  I remember having a problem but not how it was resolved.

Can anyone help me get squirrelscsi.device or cnet.device or preferably both working on this A1200?  I've forgotten what I did for the original ethernet connection.

Thanks

Hi,

For some reason the Squirrel Installation software places the CD ROM DosDriver into your Storage/DosDrivers Drawer.

Check to make sure its there and if so copy it to Workbench/Devs/DosDrivers.


I have the following set up which runs on either a PhaseIV Blizzard/030/50 or a PhaseIV Blizzard060/50 A1200.

Workbench ver 3.9 BB1

Workbench:L/CacheCDFS (ver113.19)

Workbench: Squirrel/Devs/SquirrelSCSI/SCSIMounter (ver 2.04)

Devs/squirrelscsi.device  (ver37.775)

Devs/DosDrivers CD0 (ver40.6)


Tooltypes in CD0 Icon

ACTIVATE=1
DEVICE=squirrelscsi.device
UNIT=3
DONOTWAIT


Check your CD Icon ToolTypes are set correctly, and ensure you have a CD ROM Disk in the drive when you run SCSIMounter.

Also, check you have the correct SCSI UNIT ID number on the device set, mine is set to ID 3 as in the CD Icon Tooltype.

If you want I can send you the files for you to install and tweak.

Thanks.  I was slowly remembering bits and pieces.  I think you have hit upon the problem.

When I set this 1200 up there was only one cd-rom on the squirrel, now there are three.  I hope this gets my cnet connection back.  If not, I'll be back.

Be seeing you.
