- XAmode (c)1993 KNOPS EDV-Anlagen Gerd Knops, Germany
-
- Enables a TOSHIBA CD-ROM to read PHOTO-CD's.
-
- Usage:
-
- XAmode -t<#>
-
- where <#> is the target-ID (0..7) of the
- CD-ROM-drive
-
-
- This program must be run with superuser status.
- To accomplish that, run it as superuser.
-
- Another way: log in as root, open a shell, and
- change to the same directory XAmode is in.
- Then enter the following two lines in the shell:
-
- chown root.wheel XAmode
- chmod 6777 XAmode
-
- Then you can run XAmode, even if you are not
- superuser.
-
- You could either run XAmode prior to using a PHOTO-CD, or
- you can have XAmode automatically executed whenever
- your machine is powered up. To do that, follow
- these instructions:
-
- 1. Login as root
- 2. If not existent, create a directory /usr/local/bin
- 3. Copy XAmode to /usr/local/bin
- 4. Add the following line to the end of /etc/rc.local:
-
- /usr/local/bin/XAmode -t<#>
-
- where <#> is the target-ID (0..7) of the
- CD-ROM-drive
-
- NOTE: Under rare circumstances it is possible that
- mach will reset the SCSI-Bus (like after a read-error on
- a hard disk or other device). In that case, XAmode needs
- to be started again to be able to use a PHOTO-CD.
