AsimCDFS Alternative
« on: May 28, 2008, 04:44:49 AM »
Hey everybody how are you doing today.  I have a small question.  Does anybody know of of a good CD-Rom utility other then AsimCDFS.  I have tried several times to use a cd-rom drive ever since I upgraded to 3.1 ROMS and I havn't been able to get it to work.  Instead of the CDROM icon on the desktop I get an icon that states "CD0:NDOS".

Before I changed out the roms, CD-Rom worked fine.  I didn't make any other changes except the ROM upgrade but the stinking thing won't work.

So, I am thinking it might be ASIMcsfs.  If anybody knows a good alternative to this, please let me know.  Thanks

Barney

There's AmiCDFS (Aminet), CacheCDFS (part of OS3.5 and 3.9 and IDEFix package), and BabelCDFS.

Did you re-install AsimCDFS?  Since you upgraded the ROM, did you also upgrade the AmigaOS as well?  If you did, your install of AsimCDFS would no longer work and must be re-installed.

Just a thought.  I have found AsimCDFS to be the most reliable CD file system that I have used, better than CacheCDFS I think.
How are you helping the Amiga community? :)

Thanks for your help everybody.  
To Amigadave: Yes I did reinstall my OS.  After reinstalling, it still does not work.  I even tried changing the id from CD0 to CD1.  What is really weird is sometimes it does mount fine, I can access the CD, but when I eject then re-insert, it goes on the fritz again.  I am beginning to think that kickstart 3.1 ROMS are flaky with the A3000.

I am going to try some of the alternative programs that Matt_H suggested.  Thanks

I usually use atapi.device and CacheCDFS myself, but that BabelCDFS looks very interesting for older miggys thanks Matt  8-) :pint:
