AmiCDFS & Blizzard 1230IV with SCSI
« on: March 19, 2010, 10:42:22 PM »
Hi All

I am returning to the Amiga and the basics have falled out of my head!

I wish to install OS3.9 on my A1200 using an old SCSI CD Rom drive. I have installed a fresh copy of 3.1 and moved the appropriate files to folders as described in the installation instructions for AmiCDFS v2.38. I am now at the point that I need to edit the CDO mount file but how on earth do I edit it??

Open shell.  Type to cd system:devs/dosdrivers.  ed CD0: or ed whatever the cd dosdriver name is.
find the device=  line ,change the device to your scsi device name, this will depend on the scsi interface you have eg squirrelscsi.device, and then in unit type in the scsi unit number of your cdrom, then change the filesystem to the right name =amiCDFS ?

You can use a programme called CED CygnusED or any text editor ... Open the CD0 file by locating it in Devs DosDrivers and then change the device to 1230scsi.device and the Filesystem to L:AmiCDFS..... Save and exit the text editor. Make sure AmiCDFS is in your L drawer and that the CD0: is in your Devs:DOSdrivers drawer. Reboot and should be mounted or just click CD0:

Classic combo that by the way, though OS3.9 may slow you down a bit. Remember the BoingBags by the way.

The mount file for CD0: will look the same as mine...

Device = 1230scsi.device
Unit  = 0
Filesystem = L:AmiCDFS
Flags = 0
BlocksPerTrack = 32
Blocksize = 2048
Reserved = 0
LowCyl = 0
HighCyl = 11000
Surfaces = 1
Buffers = 64
BufMemType = 1
Mask = 0x7fffffff
Globvec = -1
Priority = 10
DosType = 0x43444653
StackSize = 600
Mount = 1

Control = "LC BL=8 FB=32"
