Geoffrey, Their have been NO fixes, patches or updates to this software. It has proved to be quite solid. I would look at is memory. Do you have enough to mount a volume that is (6 x 1.4 GB)? This is the standard RAM calculation that you would used if…
Hi rob, This unfortunately cannot be done. I hope this helps Laszlo
Barry, Now that I've found this I will drop a line here as well . Ok, the ASPI manager for the ALWAYS IN2000 is ASPIDRVR.SYS. Our Generic ASPI manager for the ADAPTEC 1540 and BUSLOGIC 540 series aof controllers is ASPIDRV.SYS. Please note the diference. I think that it was…
DOS4 type of format includes DOS 4, and DOS 5 and up. This includes DOS 6 and DR. DOS. This will be changed to reflect the new operating systems. You should have no problems. Laszlo
All upgrade prices have been posted….Geez, I hope I didn't send the message off somewhere else !! Laszlo
Matsushita makes the drive, Panasonic distributes it, we OEMed it. I hope this clears up some things. Laszlo
Barry, The problem is probably the ASPI manager. There has been a flurry of activity with the ALWAYS IN2000's ASPI manager. If you are using the one that shipped with our software, you may want to try downloading from ASLWAYS version 12 or even 12.8. I hope this helps. Laszlo
This message normally means that the ASPI manager for the SCSI controller that you are using is not loaded. If we find no ASPI manager we default to installing our own. This has been change so taht no ASPI amanger is installed if none is found. If you ensure that…
C-serve support
Message #85800
There will be no C-serve support until Monday. For technical assistance call 613-728-1010. Sorry for the delay in advance…… Laszlo
Rich, I actually had the TAHOE working on our old sotware version 1.01f today. No problems. With the drive connected, go to the SCSI Config icon. ADD a device for us to control with the appropriate host number, id and lun. Once this is done a drive list will appear,…
Darrell, The cartridge cannot be initialized while it is mounted. Dismount the cartridge and please try again. The Panasonic drive has been certified with SCSI version 1.0 for MAC. I hope this helps. Laszlo
CorelSCSI 1.2b Problems
Message #85720
Larry, The message that you are getting regarding SYS$MSG.DAT being the wrong version is because somewhere in the path there exists another version of this file. The C-WORTHY interface is a popular one. Reduce the path and search path parameters to those directories only that contain our software (perhaps Public…
Richard, Some very good questions. Currently Corel has the capability to read and write to existing ADAPTEC bios, ASPIDISK, SyQUEST, BERNOULLI, COREL, and other DOS formats. Unfortunately the other drivers are not so robust. If the Trantor // to SCSI converter has an ASPI manager, I would try our drivers…
Ah Jack, right on top of things as usual !! . Here is the info for all those enquiring minds. Users with SCSI version 1.0 – 1.2b can upgrade to 2.0 for $79 U.S. $89 Can. + shipping. Users with SCSI PRO can upgrade to Network manager for $249 U.S.…
Darnell, I think that every one is aware and agrees that there are differences between Netware 3.11 and the supposed 'just all patches loaded' Neware 3.12. We are currently certifying our software inhouse to ensure that the next release of the product is Netware 3.12 and Netware 4.0 compatible. This…
Peter, With the 1520/22 chip set the card defaults to syncronous communication. This may hinder the capability of the controller to talk to the drive. On the ASPI line in the config.sys add a /U-. This disables host initiated synchronous communication. Now, for the error message. It is hard to…
Problem with TJBOX
Message #85715
Wolfgang, I'll be filling in for Bryan. As far as I know, we do not flush the root directory of the cache volume. To maximize your jukebox capabilities, map your directories to specific cartridges and use the automated flushing routines provided. This will offer you file control and automated file…
CorelSCSI and NW 4.x
Message #85714
There is a Customer Service center in Germany, but no technical support center. Here is the number, I hope this helps. 01308-15074 Laszlo
Thomas, I am not aware that we licensed software to Microsoft for support of the Panasonic drive !!!! Laszlo
Ernie… That does sound like an abnormally long wait. You might want to have your drive tested. What version of CorelSCSI drivers are you using? (1.2 is the latest, and is available as a free upgrade if you don't have it yet, although I don't think the drivers have anything…
Kerry…
Franck… We have not tested our drivers with this board as of yet, but I've been informed by some users that there is an ASPI manager available for the card, made by Trantor, which does allow you to use our drivers with the PAS-16 SCSI interface. I can't vouch for…
Walter… I wouldn't go as far as saying that Toshiba is providing poor support, although I'm suprised that you have to send the drive all the way to the U.S. Toshiba Italy really should provide a better solution than sending it stateside. Aside from this, I must say that they…
Tim… I make it a rule never to show preferences and suggest cards; it gets people mad at me . You could try taking a look at our forum, where I've uploaded a list of all cards and devices that have passed the certification testing with our drivers. The file…
Tim… What kind of SCSI card do you have? Our CorelSCSI drivers go for a suggested list price of $99 (U.S.), and would give you a wide range of support, but we require the use of a card that has an ASPI manager provided with it. Yours, Bryan
Norman… No sweat… you probably are close . Multi-sessioning refers to the number of times a CD has been written to. In the past, CDs have been single session, all the information on them being written in one shot. Now, CD's are gaining the ability of being written to multiple…
James…. The tech support phone number is still the same… if the number didn't work, then there's something wrong with the lines somewhere, but not here (my tech support cohorts are busy answering calls as I type…). As for the forum, well, we're not sure what happened, but the CIS…
Norman… Just for your friend's peace of mind… while the 3301 is not upgradable to a 3401, the drive -is- upgradable to being multi-session XA capable! You need to contact Toshiba for this… they'll require you to send the drive in, and I think it'll cost somewhere around $99. Hope…
Dave… Aww… gee… Thanks for the kind words! Always glad to help out! Later, Bryan
James… You can get upgraded to the most recent drivers for an upgrade fee of only $50. This upgrade includes all the support currently available with CorelSCSI… DOS, Windows, OS/2 and Novell 3.11 environments, with CD-ROMs, hard drives, optical WORM and rewritable drives, tape drives, removable hard drives, flopticals, and…
Roger… Thanks… I was just teasing him, as some users might get confused if they didn't know about the drive changing the disc speed… (only fun intended… ) Yours, Bryan

Tosh 3401 & Adap 1542
Message #48149
Niall… Just to confirm for you, the latest version of CorelSCSI does indeed support multi-session photo-CDs! Yours, Bryan S. Corel SCSI Support
Mark… Our CorelSCSI device drivers will support ASPI driven cards, such as the Adaptec 1740, although I should point out that the 1740 is not yet certified with our drivers. (In other words, it would probably work fine, but that's not gauranteed yet…) You might actually already have the drivers…
Nico… Our CorelSCSI drivers will allow you to enjoy XA compatibility with your 3301, and if you get the 3301 upgraded to be multi-session compatible, our drivers will support that function as well! You should contact Toshiba if you want to find out about having your drive upgraded… I think…
Bruce… Do you mean to connect the 3401 directly to the SBPro through it's `SCSI' connector? If so, I doubt you'll get it going. The SBPrs's `SCSI' connector is not -really- SCSI (this I've been told by the techs at Creative Labs), and you can only use certain proprietary drives…
Toshiba XM3301B audio
Message #43188
Hal… The utility has been compressed with instructions into a self extracting archive called VOLUME.EXE. It's found in the CorelSCSI! Library on our Corel forum. Hope it helps! Yours, Bryan
Sandy… The latest version of CorelSCSI! (1.1) now supports the Texel 3024 and 5024 drives… (version 1.01f only claimed to support the 3020 and 5020… a new revision was necessary to support the newer drives…). You can get this upgrade free of charge by contacting our Customer Service people, either…
Roger… I'll be posting an answer to you in the Corel forum as well, but suffice it to say that I have a Toshiba 3301B, an LS-2000 SCSI card (8-bit), and am using ICOM's Sherlock II with no problems at all. It sounds to me as if there's a potential…
Jeff… If I could cut in here for a moment, I'd like to clarify something here for everyone, as everyone seems to have this mistaken idea; Corel has had nothing (repeat: -nothing-) to do with the developement of Adaptec's EZ-SCSI software! EZ-SCSI is, was, always has been entirely Adaptec's baby.…
Adaptec CD-ROM Drivers
Message #36555
Chris… As far as I know, the relationship is that Adaptec and Corel aggreed to combine our products in the SCSI Direction Plus and SCSI Master Plus kits. The EZ-SCSI solution that Adaptec is offering is not related in any way to our drivers… from what I understand it's a…
SW for audio CD in 3301?
Message #35827
Manfred… Forgive me for cutting in, but just thought I'd mention that if you had CorelSCSI, you would be able to get audio from your CD-ROM. CorelDRAW and CorelSCSI are two different packages; CorelSCSI is available through software vendors for a suggested retail price of $99 U.S. The driver package…
Albert… Pardon me for jumping in here… just wanted to confirm that CorelSCSI drivers will allow you to support audio on any CD-ROM that we've provided drivers for (with the current exception of the Texel 3024/5024 drives, but this is only due to recent drive firmware changes, which have now…
Dick… The package is called CorelSCSI!, and is available through several distributors in the U.S., including Ingram Micro, Tech Data, Calabco, and many others. Let me know if you need any assistance finding it! Yours, Bryan
Bruce… The DPT cards have not completed certification yet, although we do have several going through the testing program. I'll be posting notes as soon as I hear some word regarding them. Thanks for the interest! Yours, Bryan
Steve… Just thought you'd like to know… our drivers will shortly (as in, January) be multi-session compatible. Drop by the Corel forum for more info… Yours, Bryan
Chuck… We here at Corel may be able to help you… we offer a SCSI solution for DOS, Windows, OS/2 -and- Novell (all in the same package) for $99 (suggested U.S. list price). Yes, that's $99, as in ninety-nine. Our requirements are that you are using an ASPI compatible card,…
Paul… Have you added the /XA parameter to your device driver line (CUNI_ASP.SYS)? If not, that would explain why you can't read the CD-ROM. The drive has to be set to allow XA mode, and this switch will do it. Unlike some drives, the Toshiba is capable of accessing ISO…
Hal… Sorry, Hal, but currently I would think that the format's are probably too different to be compatible. I can't confirm this positively, as we haven't a Trantor card to test with (yet…). Let me know if I can answer any other questions for you! Yours, Bryan
Chris… HEY!!!! We're still very much alive, kicking, and our own company!! Adaptec is bundling our drivers with their 1522 and 1542 SCSI cards, in solutions called the SCSI Direction Plus and the SCSI Master Plus, respectively. But CorelSCSI on it's own can be obtained from your local dealer, via…
Jacoby… Sorry, didn't know you were referring to Novell. The Adaptec 1510 card is not supported under Novell 3.11. Later, Bryan
