- PK> I've just attached a CD-ROM to my A2500, and I'm using the CD0: DosDriver

-
- PK> Is is just me, or isn't it any good?
-
- PK> 1. It doesn't mount CD0: unless there is a disk in the drive at boot.
-
- PK> 2. It doesn't support automatic diskchanges - I have to do it manually.
- PK> I know it isn't the A2091 as it supports diskchange on my Syquest.

- PK> 3. When getting a file listing of the mods directory of the Aminet3 disk
- PK> using the Workbench it fails claiming "not enough memory". Checking
- PK> shows that sure enough it's used the entire of my 1M chip ram. The
- PK> BufMemType in the DosDriver is set to 0 (any memory), so why is it
- PK> using chip at all?
-
- PK> Have I (a) messed up the configuration; or (b) is it just substandard?
-

- Your best bet is to toss the 3.1 CDROM kit, and get something like
- Paul Reeves (AsimWare) sells. Currently AsimCDFS is at 3.5, I use an
- earlier 3.0 or so, and it runs my jurrasic single speed 25bj just
- fine, on an A2091 with rev 7 roms. Roms before 6.6 will also have
- problems with CDROM's.
