- Great Valley Products SCSI Controllers
- --------------------------------------
- · When using Chinon CD-ROM drives with GVP SCSI Controllers, you will
- need to add the following line to your s:startup-sequence or
- s:user-startup file BEFORE the CD-ROM drive is mounted.
-
- gvpscsictrl # dcoff
-
- where # represents the SCSI unit number of your CD-ROM drive. For
- example, with Chinon CD-ROM drive connected as SCSI unit #1, you
- would add:
-
- gvpscsictrl 1 dcoff
-
- This command will be found on the GVP install disk and should be
- copied to your C: directory, if you have not already done so.
-
-
-
-
- · The NEC-25 (or Media Vision MV-2) CD-ROM drive will need
- version 4.13 or greater of the GVP firmware when being used with
- a GVP controller card in a machine other than the A1200. With
- an Amiga 1200 and a GVP A1291, you will need version 5.4 of the
- SCSI firmware. Contact GVP (!) for further details.

- Dataflyer SCSI+
- ---------------
- · When using the SCSI+ (IDE to SCSI converter), you will need to
- ensure that the DataFlyer driver software is executed BEFORE
- the CD-ROM drive is mounted. This can be accomplished by
- ensuring that the block of commands to mount AsimCDFS (see below)
- are moved to the END of the s:user-startup file. If needed, use your
- favourite text editor to move the commands.
-
- ;BEGIN AsimCDFS
- echo "Mounting AsimCDFS..."
- assign AsimCDFS: SYS:AsimCDFS
- assign AsimCDFS_Buffer: ND0:AsimCDFS_Buffer
- mount >NIL: CD0:
- ;END AsimCDFS
-
-
-
- · The NEC-25 (or Media Vision MV-2) CD-ROM drive does not work
- with the Dataflyer SCSI products.

- Amiga 3000, A4091, A590, A2091
- ------------------------------
- · When using Pioneer multi-disc CD-ROM changers, you will need to
- ensure that the SCSI controller card has the Logical Units enabled.
- With the A4091, A2091 and A590, this is accomplished via a jumper
- or DIP switch. Consult your manual for its exact location.
-
- On the Amiga 3000, this is accomplished via an option in the Amiga
- 3000's battery backed RAM. We suggest using the program SCSIPrefs
- by Martin A. Blatter, which can be found on Fred Fish disk #532.
-
- In addition, you will need to UNSELECT the Ignore LUNS on Open?
- flag for each device CD0 through CD5 (for separate mode) or
- for CD0 (for pooled mode) via AsimCDFS_Prefs.

- Nakamichi MBR-7, MBR-7.4 and NEC 2xc 7-disc changers
- ----------------------------------------------------
- · We have tested the Nakamichi MBR-7(.4) and NEC 2xc CD-ROM drives with
- the GVP line of SCSI controller cards -- the drive behaved as was
- expected.
-
- We also tested the Nakamichi MBR-7(.4) and NEC 2xc with a few other SCSI
- controller cards and found that it did not work -- the problem
- usually was the drive hanging when the discs were swapped.
-
- At this time, we cannot recommend the Nakamich MBR-7 (with 1.10
- firmware), the Nakamichi MBR-7.4 (with firmware 1.00) or the NEC 2xc
- with controller cards other than the GVP line. We will be performing
- additional testing and will have a comprehensive compatibility list
- for these three drives in the coming weeks (21/10/95).
