IDE-FIX troubles

@Orjan
What version of "scsi.device" do you have?

[blobrana]

Hum,

doesn`t the 1200 have the newer version of scsi.device installed??

[color=6699CC][/color]
if no jumpers then it must be hard wired to , i guess, unit 2...(try other numbers though- when you edit the CDO: tooltypes...) and i guess that its  set as a slave...(on same ide cable as HD)

But if it's a master then you'll need to use another separate IDE cable
[color=6699CC][/color]


on my system i`ve got:
Device = scsi.device (case sensitive - note the small letters!)
FileSystem = L:CDFileSystem (or FileSystem = L:AmiCDFS)

blab blah
Buffers = 5
BufMemType = 0
StackSize = 1000
Priority = 10

Unit = 2 (edit to something else)
Mask = 0x7fffffff
GlobVec = -1
Priority = 10
DosType = 0x43444653
StackSize = 600
Mount = 1

Control = "LC BL=8 FB=32"


* Control field template:
*
* LC=LOWERCASE/S,CS=CASESENSE/S,

@Boinghead

When I said "elaborate" I meant for you to explain why I was in deep {bleep}.. Didn´t even think about it being a stupid pun.. :-)

@Adolescent

When I run Finddevice, it finds a whole lotta units on different devices, but I chose the one that came up when scanning atapi.device..

@Blobrana

I already have the HD on channel 1, and the CD on channel 2 of the 4-way device...

[nex4060]

doesn't he have to use a atapi.device insted of scsi.device to get the cd-rom to work?
I could not get my cd-rom drive to work with scsi.device. Or did I do something wrong? I have an A4000 with ide HD and cd-rom drive.

@Orjan
This info is from amiga-hardware:

This device is basically a buffered 4-way IDE device for the Amiga which splits the internal IDE Connector into wo channels. The board contains two 2.5" connectors and two 3.5" connectors. Please note that this board does not work correctly with V43 of scsi.device

So, if you have V43 of the scsi.device in your system,
it won't work. I think that's your problem...

[Orjan]

Yep, but the IDEFix 97 software comes with updated devices, and I have installed it.. So it should work, atleast in my head.. :-)

[blobrana]

Hum,

Try to download AmiCDFS (V2.14)

And change those tooltypes FileSystem = L:aMiCdFs etc...

Hi Orjan,

if you have properly installed the IdeFix97 archive, you should have CacheCDFS in L: and atapi.device in Devs:

FileSystem     = L:CacheCDFS /* The name of the game */
    Device         = "atapi.device" /* Name of exec device driver */
    Unit           = X /* exec device unit */
    Flags          = 1 /* OpenDevice flags */
    BlocksPerTrack = 351000 /* Unused */
    BlockSize      = 2048 /* True, but unused */
    Mask           = 0x7ffffffe /* Memory mask for direct read */
    MaxTransfer    = 0x100000 /* Maximum amount of bytes for direct read */
    Reserved       = 0 /* Unused */
    Interleave     = 0 /* Unused */
    LowCyl         = 0 /* Unused */
    HighCyl        = 0 /* Unused */
    Surfaces       = 1 /* Unused */
    Buffers        = 50 /* Number of cache lines */
    BufMemType     = 1 /* MEMF_PUBLIC */
    GlobVec        = -1 /* Do not change! */
    Mount          = 1 /* Mount it immediately */
    Priority       = 10 /* Priority of FileSystem task */
    DosType        = 0x43443031 /* Currently unused */
    StackSize      = 3000 /* Minimum stack required is 3000! */
    Control        = "MD=1 LC=1 DC=8 L LV AL LFC=1 HR=.rsrc PROT=rweds"

Change "X" with the CD unit.

Then goto Prefs:CacheCDFS and run it.

Enable the 4Way adapter (EB standard)

You should have also, the first line in S-S

C:IDEFix

C:SetPatch SKIPROMUPDATES "scsi.device" QUIET

Bye

[_caddy_]

i've done the same thing, with the same drive


here's how you should have it

secondary master is unit 2

use atapi device, and download amicdfs off aminet

copy and paste that

it should work

FileSystem = L:AmiCDFS /* The name of the game */
Device = "atapi.device" /* Name of exec device driver */
Unit = 2 /* exec device unit */
Flags = 1 /* OpenDevice flags */
BlocksPerTrack = 351000 /* Unused */
BlockSize = 2048 /* True, but unused */
Mask = 0x7ffffffe /* Memory mask for direct read */
MaxTransfer = 0x100000 /* Maximum amount of bytes for direct read */
Reserved = 0 /* Unused */
Interleave = 0 /* Unused */
LowCyl = 0 /* Unused */
HighCyl = 0 /* Unused */
Surfaces = 1 /* Unused */
Buffers = 50 /* Number of cache lines */
BufMemType = 1 /* MEMF_PUBLIC */
GlobVec = -1 /* Do not change! */
Mount = 1 /* Mount it immediately */
Priority = 10 /* Priority of FileSystem task */
DosType = 0x43443031 /* Currently unused */
StackSize = 3000 /* Minimum stack required is 3000! */
Control = "MD=1 LC=1 DC=8 L LV AL LFC=1 HR=.rsrc PROT=rweds"
