AMIGA 1200 SQUIRREL CDROM CD32 NOT WORKING?
« on: September 11, 2007, 11:12:54 AM »
Hi guys i don't have much luck in resolving problems on here, but here goes Amiga 1200 (not tower)8mb ram expansion (disabled 4mb for pcmcia issue).My problem is that when i use the cd32 emulator disk created by either idefix or power cd rom software i get cd0:is not mounted,cannot open "atapi.device"unit 3 arghh but the drive works in Workbench perfectly and is mounted? please help with this issue thanks.

abit more info the cd drive is a ibm cdrm00201 & if i try scsi mounter/mount i get error:invalid rigid disk block but as i say the drive works and reads cd's.

also wouldn't the cd32 boot disk mount the scsi drive, as when i used a ide cdrom drive on an Amiga tower i owned the cd32 bootdisk worked straight away & booted the cd32 cd rom it seems scsi is not as straight forward as ide on the Amiga?.

any ideas on the commands in the script?,i booted with no startup-sequence managed to mount the cd drive with mount cd0: command,so i need to add these commands to a boot disc before it loads anything else .

i checked the bios & it doesn't detect it as another device,but if i do the mount command it does work and works fine in Workbench and is always found via ide fix etc. But can't seem to boot a cd32 game disc as it's saying drive not mounted weird. :crazy:

does any body know on here if  a Squirrel device is detected in the bios as a drive label as i have disconnected it and reconnected it and the bios lists the same devices.
