Title: The original CD0: device.
Post by: TheGoose on January 08, 2008, 01:38:13 AM

With 3.1 and on, there was a device called CD0 in the /storage/DOSDrivers drawer. Did this ever work? and for what, A4000?

Curious.

I've used it on my A3000, and on WinUAE.  It won't work with the A600, A1200, or A4000 because you need an ATAPI driver.  The original cd filesystem doesn't work very well anyway, so it's best to only use it if you're stuck.

Yeah the 3.1 CD0: device was pretty much useless, even for SCSI.  You need a 3rd party driver like AsimCDFS or AmiCDFS or IDEFix97.  OS 3.5+'s driver worked great though!  (CacheCDFS)

I have a working 3.1 partition on my A4000T, and I use the device, with the original C= CDfileSystem to read from a SCSI DVD-ROM. It works nice (I don't remember if it can even read ISO DVD-ROMs...). The file system has many limatations, for instance it cannot read joliet information.

my 2 cents

The "original" CD0: device is the A570.
