PlayCd wont work??

[swift240]

I am using OS3.9 BB1 and BB2 installed.  Every time I try to use PlayCD I get the message "Device does not conform to SCSI-2 (cd.device, unit 0, version 0)"

Then PlayCD closes.

The tooltypes are
(PUBSCREEN=)
DEVICE=cd.device
UNIT=0
(BUFFMEMTYPE=1)
SKIN=silver

What s wrong, it just wont play anything?

Can any one help?

TIA,

Mike.....

Unless you are using a CD32, you have no reason to be using cd.device. Try using the real device (scsi.device or atapi.device, usually) that points to your CDROM.

[swift240]

I am using 2 CDrom drives and both need the cd.device to operate, and both work fine, so no matter what I do I still need to use the cd.device.

I changed from cd.device to scsi.device in the tooltypes and still wont work.

 :-?

[KennyR]

Why do you need the cd.device? I don't understand. cd.device as I know it is just a wrapper that sits on top of another device, for CD32 compatibility.

Remember to set the unit properly too.

And do other cd players work for you?

I suspect there are several issues here.

The first is the Unit= number in the PlayCD icon.

UNIT=0 is usually the boot drive. Do you boot from the CDRom or a hard drive?

If the latter, the PlayCD UNIT=number should coincide with the location of the CDRom you wish to use for PlayCD. You can't use both (if I understand the IDE setup correctly).

So, Unit=0 is the Channel1 Master (Boot disk)
Unit 1 is Channel 1 Slave, Unit 2 is Channel 2 Master and Unit 3 is Channel 2 Slave.

Also in the PlayCD icon, the DOSDev= setting should correspond with the icon you use for the selected CD drive DOSdriver icon. It could be CD0, Cd1, etc.

I have DEVICE=scsi.device in my PlayCD icon and BUFMEMTYPE is active.

In the CDPlayer tool types I have this:-

DOSDEV=CD0
DEVICE=scsi.device
UNIT=2
BUFMEMTYPE=1

The CD I play from is the Secondary Master (I use 4xEIDI`99)
So if I am correct then all is set up right.
But I still get that message then PlayCD closes down.

Does this tally with the tooltypes in the CD0 icon? (It's in Wb:Devs/DOSdrivers)

Hi swift240

in the CDPlayer tool types I have this:-

DOSDEV=CD0
DEVICE=scsi.device
UNIT=2
BUFMEMTYPE=1

and this is correct

In the DosDrivers:CD0 descriptor you should have:

/* AllegroCDFS mountlist */

   FileSystem     = L:AllegroCDFS
   Flags          = 0             /* unused */
   BlocksPerTrack = 10            /* unused */
   BlockSize      = 2048          /* unused */
   Mask           = 0x7ffffffe
   LowCyl         = 0             /* unused */        
   HighCyl        = 0             /* unused */
   Surfaces       = 1             /* unused */
   Buffers        = 128          
/*                  128 = 128 * 512 bytes */
   BufMemType     = 1
   GlobVec        = -1
   Mount          = 1
   Priority       = 5
   DosType        = 0x41434453  
   StackSize      = 2048
/* Control        = DC  */
/*                  DC=DEFCDDA/S -  ISO/CDDA disks start as CDDA */

/* The Device and Unit fields are controlled by ToolTypes in the icon.*/

@Framiga

He needs a PowerFlyer Gold to run the AllegroCDFS. I don't think he's got this kit.

@Swift240

What interface module do you have?

Cheers,

JaX

[swift240]

Here is my setup:-

4x EIDI99, without the software. If I install the software
 inc Allegro CDFS I start to get problems like only 1 cd drive will be recognised.
At present I am using

CD++ on the CD device.

CD0 and CD1

@swift240

Forget about AllegroCDFS with your IDE module. Go to Aminet and search for IDEfix drivers and CD filesystems, which should be more appropriate.

All the foregoing stuff about Devices and Unit numbers applies.

@ swift240

read carefully the docs that comes with EIDE '99 v3.1 & AllegroCDFS v3.0 (for the 4xEIDE adapter)

http://www.vesalia.de/files/eide99.lha

above of all, the setpatch configuration and NSDPAtch too.

Bye

PS- your 4 way adapter, needs its driver to works properly.
