- GENERAL
-
- This software package has been developed to operate Mitsumi CD-ROM drives
- with the Amiga series of computers. These drives were developed for use with
- IBM compatible computers. With an apropriate interface, these drives will
- work with your Amiga, too!
- The Mitsumi drives are low cost, industry standard drives.
- They allow MultiSession and Mode2/1 (Photo-CD) access.
- The FX-001D is a double speed drive with a data transfer rate of up to 300
- kByte/s and an integrated sector buffer of 64 kByte.
- I recommend the FX-001D as the best choice for the TandemCD package, however
- all other Mitsumi CD-ROM drives will work, too.
-
- The supplied software device driver is able to access all drive features
- like double speed, Audio playback, PhotoCD mode and multisession support
- without any user interaction.
- It will automatically switch to double speed transfer, if a drive capable
- of this mode is present.
-
- It will map disks with multiple sessions to one single session. No special
- "Multi session" filesystem is required, you may use (aside from the wonderful
- CacheCDFS supplied) any of the popular CDROM filesystems like the Commodore
- CDFileSystem or the BabelCDROMFS.
-
-
-
- REQUIREMENTS
-
- You need a Mitsumi CD-ROM drive (LU005S, FX001S or FX001D), a bsc interface
- card with cable, and an Amiga 600/1200/2000/3000/4000 computer running
- Kickstart and Workbench version 2.04 or later with at least 1MB RAM.
- A Harddisk is highly recommended.
-
-
-
- INSTALLATION
-
- For flawless installation a program is supplied for this purpose. First setup
- your CD-ROM drive as described in the hardware manual supplied by bsc. IF THE
- CD-ROM DRIVE IS NOT CONNECTED PROPERLY AND IS NOT POWERED UP, THE SOFTWARE WILL
- NOT INSTALL!! It is not required, that a CD is present in the drive.
- Now boot your Amiga as you usually would. Insert the TandemCD disk in any
- drive and double-click on the Install-TandemCD icon.
- The software will now automatically install itself on your harddrive or
- startup - floppydisk.
- The installation procedure is interactive, and extensive online help is
- available. After the installation process is complete, you should reboot your
- machine. Now your new CD-ROM drive should be fully operational.

-
- - CDFSprefs
- This program is a preferences editor for the CacheCDFS. It allows you to
- change the settings for the file system without struggeling with your
- CLI, Dos editor and the mountlists. For proper operation, the filesystem
- MUST be installed with the supplied installation program!
-
-
- - KillDev
- This program belongs to the CacheCDFS. It allows you to completely
- unmount your CD-ROM from the system. If the FileSystem is still in use
- (e.g. there are open files on a disc, or you have opened the volume)
- KillDev will print an error message.
-
- - PlayCD
- A tiny Audio Disc player. It offers repeat play, volume adjust (FX001
- only), track programming, shuffle play.
-
- - playcd.font
- PlayCD can use an own font for its display. However, if you don't want to
- copy the PlayCD font files to your fonts: directory, you may instruct
- the installation program to do so.
- PlayCD will look for its font, if the font can't be found, it will use
- topaz 8 instead.
-
- - EjectCD
- Opens a small window with an eject button for FX001 drives, because the
- Eject button is a bit misplaced under the CD-tray.
- It is useless with LU005 drives.
-
- - FindCD
- This program is used only during the installation process. It creates
- two environment variables, CDROM_Device and CDROM_Unit. These are
- only useful during the installation.
