- CDROMINF Version 0.9a - This is the first public release of CDROMINF.
-
- CDROMINF - What is it?
- ------------------
-
- CDROMINF is a program I wrote to test the functions in MSCDEX, ASPI and
- in DPMI. The program tests for the existance of these drivers and then
- makes calls into them and prints the results. The UPC test was put in
- with ASPI because I couldn't get the drivers that are on my machine to
- work reliably under MSCDEX. In theory, the UPC test should work on any
- machine running an ASPI driver and not just with the Toshiba 3401.
-
- How do I use this program?
- --------------------------
-
- All you have to do is run CDROMINF from the command line, and it does the
- rest.

- Copying and Registration (does he mean this costs $$$?)
- -------------------------------------------------------
-
- I am allowing full freedom to copy this program.
- It IS a fully functional version.
- It is NOT Crippleware!
- There is NOT a pro version available for an unreasonable sum of money.
- I'm NOT asking for $ to register this program.
-
- What I am asking is, that if you use this program to let me know (via EMAIL,
- snail mail, Carrier Pigeon etc.), AND if your karma so directs you to make
- a small donation to a local charity. So far since the first release in
- late '93, only a couple people have shown they have good karma. I guess
- this makes a rather sad statement about society.
-
- I would also like to try and keep all the files together and unchanged
- in the archive, so if you are passing this around don't change the files.
- In this distribution the files contained are:
-
- CDDA.EXE - the program itself
- CDDA.DOC - this document file
- ROYALTY - the list of people to whom you should pay royalties
- CDROMINF.EXE - the MSCDEX exerciser program
- CDROMINF.DOC - the text file describing CDROMINF
- MSCTEST.EXE - the test program for MSCDEX only access reading DA
- TOSHTEST.EXE - the test program for TOSHIBA drives reading DA
- TOSH_RST.EXE - the program to reset TOSHIBA drives after fatal errors
- NECTEST.EXE - the test program for NEC drives reading DA
- SONYTEST.EXE - the test program for SONY drives reading DA
- CHINTEST.EXE - the test program for CHINON drives reading DA
- PLEXTEST.EXE - the test program for PLEXTOR drives reading DA
- SCSIPING.EXE - the program which uses ASPI to search for SCSI drives
-
- If you are one of those Shareware houses, I don't want to see this program
- available for $6.99 plus shipping and handling. I don't like seeing
- the average Joe getting burned for a 10 cent disk, 1 cent label and 2 cents
- worth of labour to make the disk, especially when he can get 600+ Meg
- of really good stuff from something like the Simtel CD for $25 (thanks to
- Robert Bruce for starting the cheap archive business).

- How to get hold of me
- ---------------------
- If you want to mail me about problems or to tell me I'm going to rot in hell
- for copying music, put your message in a file and type the following:
-
- C:>copy flame.txt nul:
-
- If you want to make suggestions or want to send compliments you can contact
- me at the address below.
-
- If you would like assistance in solving problems, please include all
- dumps from all the related programs. You should be able to
- run the programs like this and get the dumps in a text file:
- CDDA /T 2 /W /O /F testfile >dumpfile.txt
-
- I have real difficulty in tracking down problems without these
- dumps. In the past the majority of people asking for help just send
- along a short note telling me my program doesn't work, and what
- they remember the error messages saying. This just doesn't cut it.
- I have to have the dumps to help.
-
- The bottom line - RTFM before writing me. Also read the alt.cd-rom
- FAQ. many of your questions can be answered by reading.
