A1200 Unable to install CD Rom
« on: October 27, 2014, 12:09:51 AM »
http://www.vesalia.de/e_amigaslimcddrive%5B8287%5D.htm

When I Scan using "FindDevice" im told I have 1 Matzhita CR Rom CR-175 Revision 5NCC

Its powered, spools up during the scan but the OS doesnt seem to find it (nor when using Dopus)

I do have the preinstalled IDEFIX that came with AmigaKit CF HD.

Any ideas as to how I can mount the CD rom?

A1200/30
Rom 3.1
WB 3.0 (39.29)
Kickstart 40.68

Hah, I posted the original post without previewing it.

The wordfilter scrambled it.

Going thru the suggestions in this thread.

Ah now it comes back to me.

The install floppy provided by Vesalia; installation seemed to work out until putting in registration provided on front of floppy. It didnt progress past that.
Now im trying to install from the CF drive provided by Amigakit. The script "Installsoftware (0%). Working on installation Starting AddIDEfixstartup.
Just stays on 0%.

The drive doesnt have a "slave" jumper like the old harddrives got.

The CF drive worked from the get go. No problems at all :)

The cable got additional slot for IDE drive, so I got a CD Rom drive to use.
The CD rom drive doesnt have jumpers, so if thats the issue, then im screwed :)

I have ordered Jens's USB hardware, and already got the CF transfer kit from Amigakit, so getting stuff from the Inet aint much of an issue. Installing stuff from CD rom on the other hand...

In the startup sequence, the lines;

IF EXISTS SYS:C/IDEFIX
    C:IDEFIX
ENDIF

This freezes the loading of workbench. Once I ; them out, workbench loads normally.
