I have tried to locate either one of these cd filesystems, but I can't find it?

Where can I find Asimcdfs or Cachecdfs?

Does anyone know where I can get these?

Hum,
it`s always best to check out Aminet first.

Hello!

I can't find them on Aminet either. Further assistance highly appreciated.

Welcome back Jörgen, I thought you have given up on Amiga?

You won't be able to find CacheCDFS or AsimCDFS on Aminet since both are commercial products. However I think you will be able to find AmiCDFS and the IDEfix package on Aminet. With the devicedrivers in IDEfix you will get a requester every 30 minutes I think, but it will enable you to use your CD drive.

Hello doctorq!

No, I have not given up on Amiga. I just have moved to my girlfriends apartment, and it has taken some time to get all up and running.

I have my A1200T right next to my PC, but my current monitor does not support the boot up menu on the A1200, so I can't configure it.

That's why I would like to get WinUAE up and running for the moment, until I buy a new monitor.

Ok, so AsimCDFS and CacheCDFS is commercial stuff. Where can I buy it?

Is there some other cd file system that can handle long filenames? I read about AmiCDFS that it only supports 8.3 filenames, is this correct?

Ok, good that you aren't ditching your Amiga in order to use a PC with Amiga emulator instead.

I think you can buy AsimCDFS at ELBOX. Their site is www.shop.elbox.com for the online shop.

If you have the OS3.9 CD, you have CacheCDFS already, but you need a device driver for your drives. Try getting hold of the IDEfix package from Aminet, then you have what you need.

Is it absolutely imperative that you use Asim or Cache CDFS? As said, there's AmiCDFS on Aminet, and Ralph Babel just released his BabelCDFS publicly a few days ago (here).

They're not your only CDFS options, that's all I mean. ;-)

Hello Matt_H!

The only reason that I don't want to use AmiCDFS is that I have heard that it does not support long filenames.

All I require is that the cd file system, can support long filenames on the cd, that's all. I will certaintly take a look at BabelCDFS. Thanks for the link.
