- Hello fellow Amigans, can you help me please?
- I have been considering hanging a CDROM off my HD8+ GVP and started looking
- at the devs directories in aminet. Is there such a thing as cdrom.device?
- Other things I think I need to do to connect a cdrom -tell me if I am wrong.
-
- 1. 25pin d-connector to 50pin SCSI connector, wired ala pinout supplied
- in GVP manual (I guess it is SCSI-1)
- 2. buy a scsi cdrom drive (is the choice as great as ANY cdrom drive?)
- 3. set scsi-id and plug in
- 4. guess the LUN
- 5. get some CD's
- 6. use some lovely cd aware filemanager (which one?)
- 7. get an accelerator
-
- I got jukebox from aminet and have only had time to run it to see if it works
- in OS2.04. It shows the expected cdplayer interface and correctly tells me
- that I have no cdrom player attached.
- While looking around I notice mention of existing scsi device drivers being
- useful. However I cannot locate (on my harddisk) the file gvpscsi.device.
-
- Qu. How is my machine using the hard disk without a scsi.device file in devs?
-
- Machine is: A500+ GVPHD8+ RAM=2+2 OS2.04 still 68000 7MHz I did not set it up
- so I am not sure if there is such a thing as a mount list or where to look for
- one.
-
- p.s. Anyone know where I can get a plugin accelerator? such as the 68040 of
- Progressive Peripherals?
- Regards,
- MarkR
