- Question: What amiga/OS are u running? Are you using 3rd party sw to control
- your CD-ROM on the amiga side or the dosdriver from OS31 itself?
-
- On my A4/040 running OS31, i updated the tool types in the CD0 dosdriver to
- have empscsi.device as the DEVICE and the correct unit of the CDROM,
- but, even after reinserting the cd and issuing a diskchange CD0: (which
- yields no errors), I get no icon on the WB, and when i try to cd to CD0:,
- i get 'No Disk present in Device CD0:'. And, yes, the CD0: is in
- DEVS:DosDrivers, and activate is set to 2 (or 1) and default tool is
- C:Mount, and Im not running any Mac emulation.
-
- My kickstart is v40.70, which i 'heard' has a bug relating to using CDROMS,
- but Im not sure if thats true, or if its for v40.68, or if it only pertains
- to use of CDROMS -with- the built in scsi.device.
-
- The CDROM functions perfectly from the Mac side BTW...

-
- Well, As a matter of fact, there is a small old 52 meg Quantum drive on the
- scsi chain which is a dedicated mac drive and the only one at that. Its
- internal and terminated. With that drive, on the Mac side, Ive had WIERD
- problems.
-
- I used SCSI Director 4.3 to prep and format it, which seemed fine, but,
- whenever any program tries to open up a color wheel, it asks me to insert the
- harddrive, as if its been ejected, and then i have to force the app to quit.
- Ive found that taking out the color picker extension solves the problem but
- i dont see why i should have to do that. I have another mac partition on one
- of my amiga hardrives (on the built in IDE controller).
- Its formatted the same way,
- MacOS 7.5.1 (mac sw 5.5), and it functions perfectly, with the extension in
- place. Im now going to try silverlining on the Quantum and redo the drive, and
- see if that makes a difference.
