- I have a CD-ROM drive attached to my NeXT Station. I am using FTP
- Software's PC/TCP and I have IDRIVE installed, version 1.05. I can export
- the CD-ROM directory, and then using the IDMNT command from the PC can
- mount the directory as a drive on the PC. I can then switch to that drive
- from the PC, and can change directories, and can get a DIR of the files on
- the CD-ROM from the PC. Problem is when I go to COPY any files, it dies.
- It just sits there. The only time I ever did get a message it said
- something about an 'Invalid Function' and pointed to the .BAT file I was
- trying to copy from the CD-ROM. Anyone have any ideas? I have tried
- making it ReadOnly and also ReadWrite from the export end of things.
- Could it be the block size it is trying to use for disk reads/writes?
-
- Anyone that can help would be greatly appreciated........
