- NAME
- SimCD32 - A cd.device/CDROM simulator.
-
- SYNOPSIS
- SimCD32 ISOIMAGE:
-
- FUNCTION
- Simulate a cd.device/CDROM envirnoment.
-
- INPUTS
- ISOIMAGE - The complete path to the isoimage to be mounted
- as a simulated CDROM.
-
- RESULTS
- The specified isoimage will be used as the CDROM isoimage.
-
-
- NOTES
- To kick the CDROM simulation to life, from the shell type:
-
- > run SimCD32 work:isoimage
- > mount cd0: FROM devs:SimCD32_Mountlist
-
- Notice that after SimCD32 is run, cd0: must be manually mounted
- with the mount command. You may need to use the FROM keyword to point
- mount to the proper amiga mountlist. Here is a mountlist which can
- be used to mount CD0:
-
- CD0:
- Device = cd.device
- Unit = 0
- Activate = 1
- FileSystem = L:CDFileSystem_40.8
- Flags = 0
- Surfaces = 1
- SectorsPerTrack = 1
- SectorSize = 2048
- Mask = 0x7ffffffe
- MaxTransfer = 0x100000
- Reserved = 0
- Interleave = 0
- LowCyl = 0
- HighCyl = 0
- Buffers = 5
- BufMemType = 0
- StackSize = 1000
- Priority = 10
- GlobVec = -1
- DosType = 0x43443031

-
- Note that this uses CDFileSystem_40.8. Which is a version of CDFileSystem
- which does NOT use any 2.0 packets. This is better for emulation as the
- ROM CD32 CDFileSystem does NOT use any 2.0 packets.
-
- Once SimCD32 is run, and cd0: is mounted, you may access cd0: in the
- normal fashion:
-
- > list cd0:
- etc.
-
- You may also run CDXL files off of the simulated cd.device/CDROM in
- the same manor in which you'd do this in a real cd.device/CDROM
- envirnoment.
-
- SimCD32 has an ARexx port, named SimCD32, supporting the following commands.
-
- Quit -- Causes SimCD32 to exit.
-
- GetISOName -- Returns the file name of the current ISO image.
-
- SetISOName -- Sets the ISO image to the given file (must provide
- the complete path name). This can be used to change
- the image that is mounted, (say from work:isoimage
- to work:isoimage2, or whatever).
