Hi,here is the readme
Install SCSI v1.05 Z-3i
-----------------------
Install HD:
Für die Installation einer Festplatte nutzen Sie bitte das
Programm 'Install HD' im gleichnamigen Verzeichnis dieser
Diskette.
Install CD:
Für die Installation eines CDROM-Laufwerkes nutzen Sie bitte
das Programm 'Install CD' im gleichnamigen Verzeichnis dieser
Diskette.
Sie können die Installation auch mit anderer Install-Software
durchführen (z. B. HD-Toolbox der Workbench). Das SCSI-Device
der Z-3i heißt '123.device'.
CyberstormPPC-MKIII-Patch:
Zum einwandfreien Betrieb des Bus-Boards Z-3i mit einer
CyberstormPPC-Karte oder einer Cyberstorm MK III ist die
Installation eines kleinen Programmes nötig. Dieses befindet
sich Verzeichnis 'CyberstormPPC-MKIII-Patch'. Während der
Installation wird das Programm 'EN_MKIII' in den WB-Startup
Ordner Ihrer Workbench kopiert. Zur Aktivierung führen Sie
nach der Installation ein Neustart des Systems durch.
I hope someone can help me out because i know nothing of scsi really...
Thanks

" Install SCSI v1.05 Z-3i
-----------------------
Install HD:
For the installation of a harddrive you use the program InstallHD in the directory of the same on this disk.
Install CD:
For the installation of a CD-ROM drive please use
the program InstallCD in the directory of the same name of this disk
You can also do the installation with other install-software, like HD-Toolbox of Workbench. The scsi device of the Z3i is named '123.device'.
CyberstormPPC-MKIII-Patch:
For troublefree usage of the Z3i busboard with a
CyberstormPPC or a Cyberstorm Mk3 the installation of a
small program is necessary. This program is located in a
directory called 'CyberstormPPC-MKIII-Patch'. During the
installation the program 'EN_MKIII' is copied in your WB-startup drawer. To activate it please restart your system after installation."

You'll need a CD-file system though. There's one supplied with WB3.1 iirc. Though you'd probably be better of getting one of aminet. There's a pretty good free one on there if I'm right. Perhaps someone else has a suggestion here?
-
Thanks for the info there oden :) so about this cd file system, anyone?
-
Just download the IDEfix97 demo from Aminet. It contains CacheCDFS which is a really good one to use.
You'll only need to copy L/CacheCDFS into your L:
Since you're not using IDE, you don't have to install the rest of the software, which is a demo version.
Then make a mountfile called CD0 (or whatever) in DEVS:DOSdrivers with the contents like this:
/***************************************************************/
/* CacheCDFS mountlist entry © 1993 Elaborate Bytes, O. Kastl */
/***************************************************************/
FileSystem = L:CacheCDFS /* The name of the game */
Device = "2nd.scsi.device" /* Name of exec device driver */
Unit = 1 /* exec device unit */
Flags = 0 /* OpenDevice flags */
BlocksPerTrack = 351000 /* Unused */
BlockSize = 2048 /* True, but unused */
Mask = 0x7ffffffe /* Memory mask for direct read */
MaxTransfer = 0x1000000 /* Maximum amount of bytes for direct read */
Reserved = 0 /* Unused */
Interleave = 0 /* Unused */
LowCyl = 0 /* Unused */
HighCyl = 0 /* Unused */
Surfaces = 1 /* Unused */
Buffers = 50 /* Number of cache lines */
BufMemType = 1 /* MEMF_PUBLIC */
GlobVec = -1 /* Do not change! */
Mount = 1 /* Mount it immediately */
Priority = 10 /* Priority of FileSystem task */
DosType = 0x43443031 /* Currently unused */
StackSize = 3000 /* Minimum stack required is 3000! */
Control = "MD=1 LC=1 DC=8 S L LV AL LFC=1 HR=.rsrc MSDOS RET=1"
/* The Control field is for special adjustments */
/* L/S convert all file/volume names to lowercase */
/* LV/S convert volume names to lowercase */
/* AL/S Auto-Lower converts only non-Amiga CDs */
/* LFC/N start converting at this character */
/* LC/N/A number of blocks per cache line */
/* DC/N/A number of cache lines for the data cache */
/* MD/N/A number of blocks, when starting direct read, not using */
/* the cache. 0 will be a reasonable default (LC*DC+1) */
/* S/S Do SCSI direct commands, no Trackdisk like commands! */
/* NC/S Do NOT use TD_ADDCHANGEINT, poll for DiskChange! */
/* M/S Issue a TD_MOTOR (OFF) command after read */
You'll have to change device and unit number to suit your setup.
To find out what they should be, use a tool like SCSI_inquire to locate your CDrom.
CD0: is mounted in Startup-Sequence, then in theory your CDrom should be good to go.
