Mount SCSI devices - relationship between mountlist, devs, etc?

First you have to install a CDROM-filesystem. Os3.1 comes with a CD-filesystem, but it's pretty crappy. Os3.5 and OS3.9 both come with CacheCDFS. You can also look on aminet for a decent filesystem. I believe idefix comes with one also.
Now you have to check your storage/dosdrivers drawer if it contains a CD mountlist, something like CD0.
Start a texteditor and edit this mountlist.
Change the device to the appropriate scsi device and change the unit to the appropriate unit number.
Save your changes and move the CD mountlist to DEVS:dosdrivers. The mountlist will then be automatically mounted when you startup your system.

CacheCDFS is the built-in OS3.5/.9 because it is the one who came with IDEfix97.

I don't have idefix97 on my system, and still cachecdfs is installed when installing os3.9.

Yes, IDEfix is "hidden in the shadows" of the OS.

No it's not. The only thing idefix and os3.9 have in common is the cd-filesystem and playcd. If you use a 4-way ide-adapter you still need the ide-fix97 software.

Edit: If you mean that OS3.9 patches scsi.device so that CDROM devices can be attached to the onboard IDE, than yes.
But including cachecdfs with os3.9 had nothing to do with Idefix. If they wanted to, they could have included AsimCDFS or any other CDFS.

Hi Mike

You have CDVDfilesystem installed. That one can only be used on morphos.
Try AmiCDFS or Ami-CDROM if you need one from Aminet. Maybe there are better filesystems, but AsimCDFS for example is (or was ?) a commercial product.
