Powerflyer (FastATAcontroller) does not detect CDrewriter

[JaXanim]

I think this may be a Mountlist problem. The PowerFlyer will automatically detect hard drives, but ATAPI devices should have a Mountlist located in Devs/DOSdrivers.

For the Rewriter, you can use the CD0 mountlist, which comes with OS3.1 (in the Storage drawer). Copy this into Devs/DOSdrivers.

Also make sure that the CD0 icon contains the correct Unit Number for the CDrewriter device. Check in Workbench's Icon/Information menu. Type in and save the correct setting.

Also the device driver (where required) should always be device=scsi.device

If you have only one HD on the Primary Channel, this is Unit 0. If there is only the Master CDrewriter on Channel 2, this is Unit 1. If you have any Slave units on either channel, adjust the Unit number accordingly. That is:

Channel1 Master Unit 0
Channel1 Slave Unit 1
Channel2 Master Unit 2
Channel 2 Slave Unit 3

Have you installed all the FastATA99 files correctly? Does the FastATAPrefs work OK? Have you added the LMB command in the Startup-sequence? Have you set the correct unit number and scsi.device settings for the ATAPI devices you have fitted?

If yes to all this, then your problem is outside my own experience.

That's correct. You can use either the 2.5" or the 3.5" Primary interface as the Primary channel, but not both.

Additional 3.5" units must go on the 3.5" Secondary channel.
