OS 3.9 and Boing bags?

[Ancalimon]

boingbag 3 and 4 are not magic. They really shouldn't cause any problem on a proper system. All they do is to fix the bugs of a few old rom modules installed by boingbag2 setpatch and add a few programs that were used by majority of OS3.9 users.

Ok, so I have the ide cable hooked up to the 4way ide interface do I hook the cd rom into that cable or to the 4way adapter? I'm not getting the CD rom drive to recognize using the emergency boot disc.

If you plug the CD drive to 1st port as slave, I guess it would get detected.

I guess if you plug it to the second port, it would require an update to the scsi.device and a reboot to make the second port activated. (which should be inside the S:startup-sequence of the emergency boot floppy)

Of course you need to edit the cd0 (or cd1 or cd2 or cd3) inside DEVS: DosDrivers directory and change the device and unit according to where you connected the drive to.

So if I keep the cd drive connected to port 2 one the 4way I need to chage it to master and select CD2?

Yes. (Or you can still use CD0 but you'll have to edit it make it unit 2)

The important part is to have the appropriate lines in the Startup-Sequence that would enable the second port and reboot so that it becomes available.
