OS 3.9 Free CD-ROM support?
« on: June 21, 2005, 03:06:05 PM »
I finally got OS 3.9 installed by using IDE Fix from WB 3.1.

The problem I have now is the fact that I thought OS 3.9 has CD-ROM support built into it, but when I want CD-ROM support it wants to install more shareware. Am I missing something?

I'll mess with it again. Currently if I pop in a CD. Two CD icons pop up on the screen...

FOr the note, my Emergency disk that it made also has IDEFix on it too. They should at least give you the option to overwrite your old CD handler. Gay.

Running an external 3.5 CD-ROM externally from a chain (starting with my 2.5 HD) on my internal 1200 IDE port.

I've got a possible solution. If someone could make me an ADF disk image that will boot up the Amiga with CD-ROM support, but not with commercial software, maybe I'll be able to install OS 3.9 without hassel?

Correction OS 3.9 seems to have came with a Demo version oc CacheCDFS. Why?

Ya...

I'm starting to feel like I'm running Linux here.

I formatted my drive. Installed WB 3.1, installed IDEFIX so that OS 3.9 would show up.

 I then looked at CD1 and it said that my CD-ROM which is hooked up directly to my 1200 on a chain with the Hard Drive, is SCSI device unit 1, and that it was using CasheCDFS in L: or what ever.

 So, I then deleted CasheCDFS (or what ever that is called), IDEFIX from C:, and the Dos Drivers from Devs.

 After which I made an Emergency disk, I rebooted, and it said it could not find SCSI unit 1.  

Ha ha, VERY funny.

 I deleted all that stuff so that when I install CD support for OS 3.9, it does not try to install the demo software from what ever drive I booted from...


Anyhow, I created an Emergency disk, and when I reboot, it refuses to see SCSI Device 1.

 I decided to take a look at the Emergency Disk startup-script, and realized that it uses IDEFix if it is in C:

 So I dropped IDEFix into C: rebooted, and all is well, but I'm cursed with pop up screens telling me I am using shareware again.

 So I go ahead and install OS 3.9 onto a blank hard drive. I tell it to go ahead and copy CD support from the Emergency boot disk and it does so, but I saw it copy IDEFix over while it was at it.

 So I rebooted, everything came up, I was using 3.9, but still with the curse of IDEFix's pop up screens...

 (CacheCDFS no longer pops up BTW, one victory at least).

 I then deleted IDEFix and rebooted to come to a screen that says:

can't find scsi device 1. :)

I think it needs IDEFix until I run the CD-ROM through my Catweasel or something...

None of anything anyone has said has worked. And I've done it all. Just got to wait for that AT power pack adaptor to get here so I can hook up the Cat.

Got it!

When you go back and select to add cd-rom support, you need to uncheck the SCSI option at the top if you are running off the 1200's internal IDE port.


All that hassel for something so small. Figures.
