CyberstormPPC cd rom mount
« on: January 11, 2009, 07:41:35 PM »
Hi

Since my pc-uae to amiga via cf route has "died" I need some help.

How can I use the cd mount feature of my cybppc to move files from my pc to my amiga?

Can I just use my amiga 3.9 cd (I've had no luck so far), cd0 is visible in early startup, but when I try to access it in dos(cli) it says that it doesn't have any mounted volume.

Or do I need to burn an iso cd under windows with the needed amiga files?

My uae-cf route: I used to mount an rdb formatted cf, access it under UAE, and then put it in my amiga4000

cd mount:
The cyberstorm ppc can mount a CD0: which can be accessed by the amiga without any cdrom filesystem on disk (ready from boot, accessible in early startup)

vs 3.9 cd rom:
No, my problem is that my system is "clean" no installed software at all. My hd caught fire in 2008, and now my CF card. My HD caught fire because it was old, and got a "knock" on it's head. The CF because the CF adapter was crap

I've now discovered that if I burn CDs under Nero7 as "ISO9660:1999" Then the embeddet CDROM filesystem in the cybppc can access the files perfectly.

PROBLEM solved :)

 :whack:

I should smack you for smiling at a burning amiga! :)

History:
Event 0: My original SCSI hd (68pin) which was in this machine burned out a chip. See picture at amibay here

Event 1: Time passed, I used a CF card and adapter for a long time.

Event 2: I purchase a CF adapter with backplate, it takes to flames when I power it with a floppy power cable.

Event 3: I use a new kind of CF card, no luck

Event 4: I install OS via CD to SCSI disk, with "NoIDE" module on internal IDE header
