SCSI CD-ROM in A4000T - How to configure
« on: June 04, 2010, 11:55:18 PM »
I'm a newbie with an A4000T and am trying to configure a SCSI CD-ROM drive. I just installed Workbench 3.1 on the internal SCSI hard drive successfully. HDTools sees the SCSI CD-ROM drive, but doesn't recognize it as a valid drive type, so I'm assuming that I need the proper drivers installed, configured, etc. Tried to do some due diligence and search for the solution before posting an uber-newbie question like this, but I think I'm just getting more confused. Any help is appreciated.

OK thanks! Got the CD0 file in Devs -> DosDrivers, used Information to change the Unit# in CD0 to match the SCSI device ID. I'm a little unclear on checking for the presence of L:CDFilesystem. Where does/should that reside?

Yep, found CDFileSystem in folder L. So, dropped a CD in the drive and lo and behold, it worked!! Thanks Tension! And thanks for the alternate file system suggestions Matt_H, I'll check them out.

Thanks Folks! Yeah, navigating these older systems is coming back to me now. Although I don't have any measurable experience with an Amiga, I was able to find the L directory and verify that CDFilesystem was there. I'm in the process of building this A4000T from scratch and learning as I go. My aim here is to build a complete Toaster/Flyer 4000 system in vintage fashion. I'm into old R/C cars (collecting/running/restoring) and the goal here is to shoot some video of these old toys running around, and edit the video on a vintage toaster/flyer system for the full vintage effect! If you're curious, my site is rcgrabbag.com, and you can see some real old commercials/videos that the manufacturers made years ago to promote these items (direct link).
