Thanks for the info Gordon, I'll play with it too. If you find out a solution please let me know. Take care. Brian Hinkle, Anaheim, Ca
What is the /X parameter on the append command for? I have the new Os/2 cdrom driver and would really like to play the ultima cd. Thanks. Brian Hinkle, Anaheim, Ca
I'm using CD Speedway, I think it is excellent. A vast improvement over a non-cached Cdrom. I am not aware of any shareware programs that cache cdrom drives. Take care. Brian Hinkle, Anaheim, Ca
Thanks for the information on the NEC 83j Malcolm. That will come in handy. Take care. Brian Hinkle, Anaheim, Ca
Here's what's in my config.sys. I havn't had any trouble at all. DEVICE=G:\QEMM\LOADHI.SYS /R:2 C:\ASPI\ASPI4DOS.SYS /D DEVICE=G:\QEMM\LOADHI.SYS /R:1 C:\ASPICD\ASWCDNEC.SYS /D:ASPICD0 When I load Mscdex in the Autoexec.bat file it looks like this: C:\QEMM\LOADHI /r:2 C:\aspicd\MSCDEX /D:ASPICD0 /m:12 /e /v I have the cdrom at SCSI ID 3. Synchronous negotiation *must*…
Eric, I could *really* use that TSR that emulates MSCDEX for programs that rely on the dos drivers being present before loading. Do you perhaps sell this little goodie to the general public? Thanks. Brian Hinkle, Anaheim, Ca
I use the NEC 74 / Adaptec 1542b combo using the Adaptec Cdrom drivers and ASPI4DOS without a hitch. Have you tried another adapter card to make certain the NEC 74 is functioning properly? Take care. Brian Hinkle, Anaheim, Ca
Simon you may want to try these: EMM386.EXE I=B000-B7FFF or EMM386.EXE I=E000-E7FFF or combine the two as EMM386.EXE I=B000-B7FF I=E000-E7FFF If your using the b000-b7ff you may need to add the DEVICE=MONOUMB2.386 to the [ENH] section of your SYSTEM.INI file. To do so you may need to unpack the monoumb2.38?…
[Continued] Here's the message I get wheneve I try to load CD Speeway under Windows 3.1. As you can see Mscdex is loaded and in fact I have no problems accessing it with anything ohter the Speedway MSCDEX (or its equivalent) is not installed. Press any key to continue .…
here's the PIF information you requested: My PIf file for DOS sessions is pretty generic: Video Memory = Text KB req = 128 Kb desired =640 Ems req = 0 Desired = 3072 XMS req = 0 Desired = 1024 Display = full screen Execution = Neither Background or Exclusive…
Reese, I've been unable to get Speedway to load in a Dos session under Windows 3.1 in Enhanced mode. Message says Speedway can't find Mscdex. I've tried loading mscdex in the dos seesion in which I want speedway to work but still no go. Any ideas? Thanks. Brian Hinkle, Anaheim,…
I tried to get pckwik to cache a cdrom drive. It did not work at all. I don't think it can be done. I bought CD Speedway. It works great. Take care. Brian Hinkle, Anaheim, Ca
Thanks for the info on CDrom_g.sys. I downloaded it last night. Seems to work the same as the older cdrom.sys except you no longer need to edit the Brand string. Still no Cd audio, looks like they're saying before the end of the year for that. Glad to hear the…

Message #27842
Getting the NEC 74 to work under OS/2 was pretty easy. I'm not sure about the 37 though. What I've heard about that drive is not too good: Not MPC compatible, slow access time, 150 Kb/sec transfer rates etc. *IF* it is SCSI, (is it SCSI?) then you should be…
