Title: Installing CD Drive...
Post by: SnowDog on April 15, 2003, 06:32:03 PM

I must be missing something.... How do you install the drivers for a CD-ROM?  I moved the CD0 file from the Storage folder into Devs/DosDrivers and edited it to make it correct... what am I missing?

Thanks for your help!

Ok... I may have figured it out...

Another question.. what is the best filesystem to use?

Thanks!

Too much things to check.
First of all post the mountlist.

Enough ppl ask about this that there really should be a FAQ on the subject.
Anyone able to post a link to such?

I'm going to use AmiCDFS / AmiCDROM...

I did a search before posting the topic and found nothing... I later revised my search and found my answer on getting it working...

As for the filesystem... looks like the best one I can find...

AmiCDFS has always been one of the fastest cdfs available, but it hasn't got the support for Joliet cds. If you need to read Windows cds then you should choose CacheCDFS instead, it's available as a demo, too.

i've noticed that getting a CD drive to work seems to be easier if you just install IDEfix (registered) on top of itself and let the installer detect the drive. Of course this means i still have no idea what any of the mount script does or about the FS i'm using! (seems to work ok tho!)
