Disk & File Operation

I have a 4-way buffered interface; why won't my system boot up?

I have a Power Flyer in my Amiga. Is there anything to be aware of in regards to OS 3.9?

Is there a way to make CacheCDFS automatically recognize AudioCDs? When I insert an AudioCD into my CD-ROM drive, all that appears is a ghosted "CD0:Uninitialized" icon.

Q:	I have a 4-way buffered interface; why won't my system boot up?
A:	Assuming IDEFix uses a custom scsi.device, all you need to do is change the SetPatch invocation in S:Startup-sequence to read: C:SetPatch QUIET SKIPROMUPDATES "scsi.device" [David Rey]

I have a Power Flyer in my Amiga. Is there anything to be aware of in regards to OS 3.9?

The Power Flyer should work fine as long as you have the SKIPROMUPDATES "scsi.device" option called from SetPatch in your S:Startup-Sequence file (i.e. C:SetPatch SKIPROMUPDATES "scsi.device"). It is also recommended that you disable all scsi.device entries in DEVS:NSDPatch.cfg, as the Power Flyer's scsi.device is already NSD compliant.

Is there a way to make CacheCDFS automatically recognize AudioCDs? When I insert an AudioCD into my CD-ROM drive, all that appears is a ghosted "CD0:Uninitialized" icon.

Simply add the following line to the CONTROL field of the CacheCDFS DosDriver mount file (CD0: or whatever) "AUDIO=Sys:Utilities/PlayCD" (be sure to remove any "NOAUDIO" text if it exists). Also make sure there's a "CDDA.info" file in ENVARC:. When you insert a CDDA, CacheCDFS brings that icon as appicon up and when you doubleclick the icon, PlayCD will be started.

The line should look something like this (yours may vary slightly):

Control = "MD=1 LC=1 DC=8 S L LV AL LFC=1 HR=.rsrc Q MSDOS AUDIO=Work:Audio/PlayCD"
