CD0 Auto-Mount
« on: June 18, 2004, 06:43:00 AM »
I don't always have my CD-ROM attached or powered due to desk space, and the fact that I don't use a lot of CDs.  What I'd like to do is conditionally mount CD0 only if the device is present.  

Anyone?

My setup is A1200, Blizzard SCSI, external SCSI CD-ROM, OS3.9BB2 + CacheCDFS
Time to move on.  Bye Amiga.org.  :(

@Orjan

Obviously this works, but it's not "auto" like I asked for.

@Spidey

Yes, I get an error saying the device is not found at bootup if the CD0 device is in DEVS:DOSDrivers.  (Note:  the CD-ROM drive itself is turned off or disconnected, this is the standard behavior I've seen on all of my Amigas)

@Naeem

I'll go check again.  If you remember the name, then post it up here.

I just found it.  Limiting my Aminet search to just the CDROM tree was the problem.  The utility I'm using is ExistsSCSIDEV.  Works like a charm, will also work with my Zip drive if I choose to hook it up.
