A600, IDE CDrom, names being truncated?

OK, then the problem is that AmiCDFS doesn't support the Joliet  extension, so you are stuck with standard ISO 9660 instead. This in turn  means truncated file and directory names for CD-ROMs burned on a  Windows PC.

I suggest you try CacheCDFS instead since it has  Joliet support, the only problem is the annoying nag requesters that  pops up from time to time telling you to register the software.

IDEfix  can work with CF cards, but you need to patch it first. I belive there  are several threads here on amiga.org which explains how this can be  done.

But people have said that IDEfix doesn't support Joliet, so why does it appear to on my A500?

what is CacheCDFS? is this something that's included with idefix? and how does one go about using it?

The IDEfix executable is used to patch the scsi.device driver for adding support for large harddisks (>4GB) and for using the secondary IDE port on 4-way IDE adapters. It has nothing to do with Joliet or any other file systems.

But the IDEfix package does however include the CacheCDFS file system (with Joliet support) which can be used for accessing CD-ROMs on the Amiga, and it is also included with AmigaOS 3.9.

Just in case you can't get AsimCDFS to work properly, you can try the following:

1. Download and extract the IDEfix archive: http://aminet.net/package/disk/misc/IDEfix97

2. Copy the IDE-fix/l/CacheCDFS file to the L drawer on your boot partition.

3. Try using the CD0 mount file I have included here, just remember to change the unit number to the one used by your CD-ROM drive.
