CD ROM problem with WinUAE and OS 3.9

[cecilia]

ok, where does one find uaescsi.device?

[cecilia]

i have read the docs. and there is no uaeScsi.device included with the "Amiga Programs" in the WinUae exe file.

on my real Amiga I used the CD program you pay for (yes, paid for it. forgot the name.) and it worked fine on my 2000 (OS3.9)

but i was under the impression that WinUae didn't need or use any other CD devices. i am trying to keep the wb as clean as possible as i try to get everything working. and I'd like to get PlayCD to work.

i know about changing the cd0: file, but if one dosn't have uaescsi.device in devs, it's a bit silly.

i'm not trying to be dense: from the beginning i have checked ON (in the misc part) uaescsi.device

ok, so in the cd0: file i'll make sure to spell it just like it is in the Misc window:

UAEscsi.device

my problem (maybe?) seems to be that the log (that gets made if i check that off) reveals that the CD is device 0, but inside the emulation, it depends on how i listed it in the Harddrives window.

just slightly confusing.

sorry if i'm just not getting what seems obvious to everyone else.

wb does come up - after complaining that it can't find this or that command.

(ps. love your av)

You must not list the cd drive in the harddrives window.

Either add the CD-ROM drive as CD-ROM using uaescsi.device or add it as a harddrive in the harddrives list. Not both.

thanks for pointing that out. can't understand why the docs that come with winuae aren't very clear about installing.

i ended up using amicdfs and was able to install boingbag2! finally!!!

some things are still a little weird, but things are moving along. thanks to all  :-D
