- Known restrictions and incompatibilities
- ----------------------------------------
- 1. Certain CD-ROMs appear to have duplicate filenames in their
- directories. This is due to a problem in UNIDRIVE.DOS (and
- UNI_BDDS.DOS), and is known to affect two specific clip-art
- CDs. If you experience this problem, please contact Anodyne
- Software for a fix.
-
- 2. Chinon CDS-435 users: a last minute problem was found with
- audio support for this drive. If you have this drive, and the
- audio playback is not working, please contact Anodyne Software
- for assistance.
-
- 3. NeoDesk users: if you get a message that "data on the disk is
- corrupted or damaged" when you double click on the CD-ROM drive
- icon, or open a folder, turn off the option 'check for
- executable bootsector' in NeoDesk/Set Preferences/More.
-
- 4. Falcon030 users: there appears to be a problem with specifying
- a _logical_ device of Z for a CD-ROM drive. Until this is
- resolved, we recommend using logical devices such as P and Q
- rather than Z.
-
- 5. TT users: all of the resident components of ExtenDOS Pro
- (EXTENDOS.PRG, CD.BOS, and UNIDRIVE.DOS/UNI_BDDS.DOS) must be
- loaded into ST RAM for normal operation. If you have a system
- with alternate RAM, such as the TT030, do NOT set the program
- flags to load these programs into alternate (TT) RAM.
-
- 6. If you have a drive without a caddy, the EJECT button on the
- CDaudio player program/accessory cannot _physically_ eject the
- CD-ROM. However, on many drives (including the NEC 25 and the
- NEC 3Xp) it will _logically_ eject the CD-ROM. This means you
- will have to open the drive door and close it again in order to
- access the CD-ROM.
-
- 7. If a CD-ROM drive is defined as one of the 'normal' logical
- drives (A through P), the CHEETAH file copier will exit with the
- message "can't access BPB". This is a Cheetah problem. It
- examines each of the drives A through P during initialisation,
- expecting them to have a low-level file system with FATs and
- directories just like a hard disk; this is not the case with a
- CD-ROM. The problem can be circumvented by reinstalling the
- CD-ROM drive as a logical drive between Q and Z.
