Re: Wanna Hardrive and CD-Rom drive for my Amiga

My first post and I get to help someone!!

Sounds like a similar configuration to my 2000 (1500 with the badge pulled off) although I have Kickstart 3.1 installed.

You need the right mountlist entry for the CD device, plus a CDFS filesystem driver (I used AMICDFS2 - works OK for me).

Mountlist entry for AMICDFS is:

---------------------------------------------------

/*
* CD-ROM filesystem mount entry
*/

Device = gvpscsi.device
Unit = 1
FileSystem = L:AmiCDFS
Flags = 0
BlocksPerTrack = 32
BlockSize = 2048
Reserved = 0
LowCyl = 0
HighCyl = 11000
Surfaces = 1
Buffers = 64
BufMemType = 1
Mask = 0x7fffffff
GlobVec = -1
Priority = 10
DosType = 0x43444653
StackSize = 600
Mount = 1

Control = "LC BL=8 FB=32"

/* Control field template:
*
* LC=LOWERCASE/S,CS=CASESENSE/S,
* HF=HFSFIRST/S,LN=LONGNAMES/S,TD=TRACKDISK/S,
* BL=BUFFERLINES/K/N,FB=FILEBUFFERS/K/N,
* DC=DISKCHANGE/K/N,MT=MOTORTIME/K/N,
* SD=STARTDELAY/K/N,TDC=TDCHANGE/S,
* TOSHIBA/S,OLDMODE/S
*/

-----------------------------------------------------------

You may have to alter the "Unit" parameter dependant upon the SCSI ID of your CD drive.

Download AMICDFS from Aminet at:

I have a Toshiba DVD-ROM attached to the SCSI chain. Haven't tried it as a DVD yet - I suspect it may not work but haven't had a chance to verify this.

Good luck!
