- I'm having difficulty attaching both a SCSI CDROM and SCSI tape drive under
- OS/2 V2.0. It appears as though OS2ASPI.DMD is allocating the CDROM drive
- before the CDROM driver can attach to it. If I comment out OS2ASPI.DMD the
- CDROM loads o.k., but ASPITAPE.SYS can't (as expected).
-
- Relevent config.sys lines:
-
- IFS=G:\OS2\CDFS.IFS
- BASEDEV=AHA154X.ADD
- BASEDEV=OS2DADS.DMD
- BASEDEV=OS2SCSI.DMD
- BASEDEV=OS2ASPI.DMD
- DEVICE=G:\OS2\CDROM.SYS /N:3 /I (SCSI CDROM @ ID=3)
- DEVICE=H:\ADAPTEC\ASPITAPE.SYS TAPE$0 2 S1 (Tandberg TDC3600 @ ID=2)
-
- I've tried a few combinations of switches on AHA154X.ADD to prevent the
- ASPI driver from allocating the CDROM per the instructions in the aspibeta.zoo
- kit (OS2_20.TXT):
-
- BASEDEV=AHA154X.ADD /A:0 /!DM:3 /SM:3
- and
- BASEDEV=AHA154X.ADD /A:0 /!DM:3
-
- This technique seems a little strange to me since it's not clear how the /!
- switches communicate to the a specific driver so it's possible I have this
- part wrong.
-
- Thanks for any help.
