Reading PC CD-Rs on A1200

[Vincent]

I'm using the PC on the net to download stuff.  When I've got a lot of stuff, I put it onto CD.

When I use the CD on my Amiga, I only get 8.3 filenames, but not the usual Win9x 8.3 names.  They look like this:

BeneathASteelSky   becomes    BeneathA
BeneathASteelSkyCD32   becomes   Beneath2

On the PC I'm using NeroExpress 5.5.9.7.
On the A1200 I've got:
CacheCDFS 112.6
AmiCDFS 2.30

How can I read these files with the proper full names on the A1200?

Cheers in advance.

I thought about that aswell, but it renames the files slightly differently - I suppose that's because it's using a different filesystem.

Is there any way to write the files on Win2k, and read the full names on the A1200?

Then there's also the cheater's easy solution :-)
Divide the files into archives, unpack them on your Amiga and the file names are intact!

That's what I might end up doing.

I'm using CacheCDFS 112.6 from my IDEfix 97 disk.  This was installed before OS3.9.

The version on OS3.9's CD is 42.19.  During 3.9's installation I probably told it not to overwrite the IDEfix file because it thinks that the IDEfix file is a later version.  I renamed CacheCDFS 112.6 and copied it from OS3.9's CD, rebooted, and it works.

Cheers mate! :-D

I knew it'd probably be something simple, but I didn't think it would be this.  (i.e. IDEfix claiming to be a newer version than OS3.9!)

Joilet is the trick. also make sure that you select large file names.

Yeah, when I copied the CacheCDFS from OS3.9's CD, it worked fine, in the Prefs "No Joliet Names" was unticked. :-)

What version of nero?

It's strange, the difference between version numbers of CacheCDFS:

IDEfix 97 (bought a couple of years ago) - 112.6

OS3.9 CD(Version 2) - 42.19

The numbers are massively different.
