cdrom atapi.device or scsi.device

[Roger_S]

I have my ide cdrom connected as slave to my A4000D IDE port. As master there is an CF with 2 partitions connected.

As I remember this should be ok to get the cdrom player going:

Activate=1
device=atapi.device
unit=1

I have also tried scsi.device but the cdrom player isn't reading the disc.

Anything I'm missing?

Atapi.device is correct. In the IDEfix package is FindDevice. Use that and check whether your drive is being seen on the IDE channel, and confirm which unit number it is.

It may be that your CF adapter isn't behaving correctly. I have had a couple which refuse to work if there is a slave device connected. If everything is connected and jumpered correctly, then perhaps your CF adapter is blocking the second device on the channel.

In which case, buy a FastATA4000.

IDEfix did the trick. Now I have checksum erros,very likely due to the CF adapter.
