No CD-ROM Icon Appearing WB 3.1

@ hamtronix

Flashlab is probably suggesting this mate:-

Click once on your HDToolBox and then hold down the right mouse button and select Information... from the top of your Workbench screen.




Click on the 'Icon' tab and then change the line SCSI_DEVICE_NAME= trekmagic.device

to

SCSI_DEVICE_NAME=gvpscsi.device

Click on 'Save' and hopefully you will be able to see your hard drive and CDrom when you reactivate HDToolBox :-)

Super Duper USA thanks to A4000 Mad!

Thanks, but my post really wasn't *that* good mate :oops:  :lol:

But seriously, he must be thanking me for spending the last couple of days E-mailing him screengrabs, drivers, files and anything else I could think of to throw at him.

He appreciates everybodys help very much indeed :pint:



@ PPC

Spot on mate! I also sent him the excellent FindDevice from IDEFix97 and a CD0 set to 'gvpscsi.device' and Unit 1. The CDrom is found but he just isn't getting an icon for the inserted CD. Pity he doesn't have another CDrom to try in case the one he is using simply has a faulty lens or something.

Well to try to look into this properly I've just put a 50 pin SCSI CDrom on an Oktagon SCSI card in an A4000 for the very first time  :banana:

I then modified a Workbench 3.1 floppy disk adding 'CDFileSystem' to the L drawer and a CD0 in Devs/DOSDrivers set to 'oktagon.device' and Unit 1. When Booting into this floppy I get an icon on screen for a CD :-)

However, I do *not* get an icon for audio CD's. The CD's must have a 'Disk.info' file on them as with Amiga mag cover CD's, OS3.5 CD, OS3.9 CD, Amiga games CD's or CD32 games CD's etc. Most Amiga floppy disks have a 'Disk.info' file on them as well. This gives them their particular icon on screen mate.


@hamtronix

What CD's are you trying in your CDrom drive mate??

Also try the good suggestion in the post above. I get "CD0: No disk present" if an audio CD is inserted, and CD0: plus the name and capacity of a CD containing a 'Disk.info' file.


Oh.... and check you E-mail mate :-D

 8-) Now you need to try a CD with a 'Disk.info' file on it mate. I've e-mailed you a 'Disk.info' file. Write it to a CD-R, finalise the disc and insert it into your CDrom drive.
