asim_atapi.device from where?

[Heiroglyph]

I just started updating one of my Amigas and I'm seeing something I can't explain.

Did I miss something, or does asim_atapi.device come with 3.1 Kickstarts?

I have no other explanation for why it is still on the system.

I've done a cold boot from a 3.1 and a 3.0 Workbench floppy and the device is still there.

I bought these 3.1 ROMs off of ebay and they turned out to be eproms, so I'm wondering if they aren't stock ROMs or something.

Thanks

asim_whatever definitely does not belong to Kick/WB 3.1.

What do you mean by "still on the system"? How do you know? Where do you see it?

IIRC asim_atapi is/was a replacement device driver for the atapi device by Asimware (i must have the handbook and disks for that somewhere..). Was a commercial product. The cd driver for that device had nice features. But it definitely does not belong to a vanilla 3.x installation.

asim_atapi.device is to AsimCDFS as atapi.device is to IDEFix/CacheCDFS. It's a third-party add-on.

I can cold boot from a workbench floppy and run SysInfo and it is listed under devices along with my tekscsi2.device.

Did it ever get licensed to go on third-party roms such as scsi cards? (I know it's for IDE, but I'm stretching to figure this out)
