Title: How to add a ide CDRW to an A4000 desktop....?
Post by: BCP on March 21, 2007, 04:24:52 PM

Last weekend I tried to add an ide CDRW internal drive to my A4000 which also has an A4091 scsi controler which it is booting off of.  I tried using it as a slave drive to an ide hd and also as a master without the ide hd.  HdToolbox does not see it, nor can I get a CD device driver to work with it.  What do I do to get it to work.  The CDRW drive is a Plexor drive.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.

Use atapi.device instead of scsi.device.

More specifically, download IDEFix and use atapi.device. You can also use AsimCDFS, which has its own asim_atapi.device

The scsi.device in the Kickstart ROM is too old/dumb to handle ATAPI CD drives.
