Title: PlayCd wont work??
Post by: swift240 on June 24, 2004, 10:12:39 PM
I am using OS3.9 BB1 and BB2 installed.  Every time I try to use PlayCD I get the message "Device does not conform to SCSI-2 (cd.device, unit 0, version 0)"

Then PlayCD closes.

The tooltypes are
(PUBSCREEN=)
DEVICE=cd.device
UNIT=0
(BUFFMEMTYPE=1)
SKIN=silver

What s wrong, it just wont play anything?

Can any one help?

TIA,

Mike.....

Unless you are using a CD32, you have no reason to be using cd.device. Try using the real device (scsi.device or atapi.device, usually) that points to your CDROM.

I am using 2 CDrom drives and both need the cd.device to operate, and both work fine, so no matter what I do I still need to use the cd.device.

I changed from cd.device to scsi.device in the tooltypes and still wont work.

Why do you need the cd.device? I don't understand. cd.device as I know it is just a wrapper that sits on top of another device, for CD32 compatibility.

Remember to set the unit properly too.

And do other cd players work for you?

I suspect there are several issues here.

The first is the Unit= number in the PlayCD icon.

UNIT=0 is usually the boot drive. Do you boot from the CDRom or a hard drive?

If the latter, the PlayCD UNIT=number should coincide with the location of the CDRom you wish to use for PlayCD. You can't use both (if I understand the IDE setup correctly).

So, Unit=0 is the Channel1 Master (Boot disk)
Unit 1 is Channel 1 Slave, Unit 2 is Channel 2 Master and Unit 3 is Channel 2 Slave.

Also in the PlayCD icon, the DOSDev= setting should correspond with the icon you use for the selected CD drive DOSdriver icon. It could be CD0, Cd1, etc.

I have DEVICE=scsi.device in my PlayCD icon and BUFMEMTYPE is active.

In the CDPlayer tool types I have this:-

DOSDEV=CD0
DEVICE=scsi.device
UNIT=2
BUFMEMTYPE=1

The CD I play from is the Secondary Master (I use 4xEIDI`99)
So if I am correct then all is set up right.
But I still get that message then PlayCD closes down.

@swift240

Does this tally with the tooltypes in the CD0 icon? (It's in Wb:Devs/DOSdrivers)

Cheers,

Hi swift240

Quote
in the CDPlayer tool types I have this:-

DOSDEV=CD0
DEVICE=scsi.device
UNIT=2
BUFMEMTYPE=1


and this is correct

In the DosDrivers:CD0 descriptor you should have:

/* AllegroCDFS mountlist */

   FileSystem     = L:AllegroCDFS
   Flags          = 0             /* unused */
   BlocksPerTrack = 10            /* unused */
   BlockSize      = 2048          /* unused */
   Mask           = 0x7ffffffe
   LowCyl         = 0             /* unused */        
   HighCyl        = 0             /* unused */
   Surfaces       = 1             /* unused */
   Buffers        = 128          
/*                  128 = 128 * 512 bytes */
   BufMemType     = 1
   GlobVec        = -1
   Mount          = 1
   Priority       = 5
   DosType        = 0x41434453  
   StackSize      = 2048
/* Control        = DC  */
/*                  DC=DEFCDDA/S -  ISO/CDDA disks start as CDDA */

/* The Device and Unit fields are controlled by ToolTypes in the icon.*/

Ciao

@Framiga

He needs a PowerFlyer Gold to run the AllegroCDFS. I don't think he's got this kit.

@Swift240

What interface module do you have?

Here is my setup:-

4x EIDI99, without the software. If I install the software
 inc Allegro CDFS I start to get problems like only 1 cd drive will be recognised.
At present I am using

CD++ on the CD device.

CD0 and CD1

@swift240

Forget about AllegroCDFS with your IDE module. Go to Aminet (http://ftp.uni-paderborn.de/aminet) and search for IDEfix drivers and CD filesystems, which should be more appropriate.

All the foregoing stuff about Devices and Unit numbers applies.

@ swift240

read carefully the docs that comes with EIDE '99 v3.1 & AllegroCDFS v3.0 (for the 4xEIDE adapter)

http://www.vesalia.de/files/eide99.lha

above of all, the setpatch configuration and NSDPAtch too.

Bye

PS- your 4 way adapter, needs its driver to works properly.
