Known restrictions and incompatibilities
----------------------------------------
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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.
