- KillCD0 (<- with a ZERO)
- A small tool to kill CD0:
- Version 1.00 - (26.6.01)
-
- (C) H. van der Ree <hivdree@uwnet.nl>
-
-
- KillCD0 (<- with a ZERO) is a small tool that can be used to kill CD0: on
- a CDTV, A570 or CD32 so you can mount a new one with another filesystem
- i.e. AmiCDFS or CacheCDFS from OS 3.9.
-
-
- REQUIREMENTS:
-
- OS 2.04 or better. And a CDTV, A570 or CD32! It is not very useful on a
- 1MB machine, but is should work!
-
- A CDROM filesystem. AmiCDFS is on Aminet:
- amicdfs240.lha disk/cdrom 133K 179+AmiCDFS (AmiCDROM) v2.40
- If you have OS3.9 you can also use CacheCDFS. Other filesystems are not
- tested but might work.
-
- It is tested on:
- An A500 with A570 and Harms-Turbo, 1MB chip & 8MB non-DMA fast, OS2.04,
- OS2.1, OS3.0 and OS3.1.
- A CD32 with SX-1, 2MB chip & 8MB fast, OS3.1 and OS3.9.
-
-
- INSTALLATION:
-
- Copy it to C:, that all.
- Of course you must have a CD-FileSystem installed in L:!
-
- If you use either AmiCDFS or CacheCDFS you can copy the appropriate CD0
- Mountfile (the 'CD0' file, NOT the MountFile!) to your SYS:Storage
- directory.
- If you use OS2.04 append the appropriate MountFile to your Devs:MountFile.
-
- Add to your user-startup the following:
-
- --< snip >--
- c:KillCD0 cd0
- if not warn
- mount CD0:
- endif
- setenv cd0 $cd0
- unset cd0
- --< snip >--
-
- Another way is to add the line 'c:KillCD0 cd0' early on in your startup-
- sequence. Then below the line 'C:Mount >NIL: DEVS:DOSDrivers/~(#?.info)'
- add the following:
-
- --< snip >--
- if $cd0 eq YES
- mount CD0:
- endif
- setenv cd0 $cd0
- unset cd0
- --< snip >--
-
- Save the changes, reboot and see if is works.
-
-
- USAGE:
-
- The template is: KillCD0 VAR/A.
-
- VAR is the name for the LOCAL variable used to save the result into. There
- are three possible answers: 'YES', 'NO' and 'DISK'.
-
- 'YES' : CD0: was killed.
- 'NO' : CD0: was not killed.
- 'DISK' : CD0: was not killed because there is a disk in the drive.
-
- Also RC is set to either 0 == success or 5 == no success!
-
- If successful you can now mount another CD0: with another(=better)
- filesystem.
-
- I included mountfiles for CD0 using AmiCDFS 2.40 or CacheCDFS 42.19 from
- OS3.9.
-
-
- BUGS:
-
- None that I know off.
