Thomas, If you read the posted apology you would understand the tardiness of the response. Yes that is correct. Laszko
CD-ROM Driver
Message #87145
Ron, If you read the posted apology you would understand the tardiness of the responce. The /XA switch gets placed on the CUNI_ASP.SYS driver line. CorelSCSI version 1.2b does support PCD formats. I hope this helps. Laszlo
S/W RAID for N/W 4.0X
Message #87144
David, If you read the posted apology you would understand the tardiness of the responce. It is looking like end of December middle of January now….I hope this helps. I do not anticipate a later than end of January release. Laszlo
Raymond, If you read the posted apology you would understand the tardiness of the responce. No problem! Laszlo
smartdrv-corel SCSI
Message #87142
Arthur, If you read the posted apology you would understand the tardiness of the responce. no problem… Laszlo
Christopher, If you read the posted apology you would understand the tardiness of the responce. The rights would be identical as those for other Netware Volumes. Try increasing the the timeout of SPACE with a /TO:45 this might help the file not found message. That or try rebuilding the Infobase.…
Adaptec 1542C,SQ3105S?
Message #87140
Jack, That seems to be the case with a couple of other controllers from what I've heard. Laszlo
#Ooops, My Apologies..
Message #87135
Well, I really must admit that the forum has been rather slow. I attribute this directly to the fact that I was unaware that responces were ATTACHED to the messages I left !!!! (duhhh!!!) I entered the forum, downloaded the messages and disconnected. When I answered the question, I checked…
Wes, I can understand the tone, I am at wits end here as well. I was down in the LAB yesterday talking with the QA technician who was responsible for the controller. We went over his notes and found nothing that would indicate the problems that you are experiencing. He…
Roger, The deficiency is not in the CorelSCSI device drivers, but in the inability of the controller to operate properly in such an environment. I would suggest using a controller better suited for this environment. The Corel device drivers allow the operating system access to the device. The operating system…
Artshow 3 problem!
Message #87131
George, The error is a common one. You'll notice just before the GPF you'll get a message that states that the default midi setup will not play correctly then WHAMO! All you'll have to do is -run MEDIA PLAYER -file open from the cd rom -choose the MIDISOFT directory -dounble…
Virgil, I'll need some further information before I can head of in a given direction. So far, it sounds like termination. Model of SCSI conrtroller and drive. The version of Netware. Amount of RAM in the SERVER. Other devices on the BUS. The version of our software. Cable lengths. Relevant…
Victor, To get the ASPI interface to work, there are a number of things that you must do to the ADD line for the Future Domain; /A:0 /!DM:x /!SM:x Where x is the SCSI ID of your Bernoulli. When you installed the software no ASPI manager was found so we…
Thomas, The differences are many. I will try to outline them. -new windows interface -new dos interface -support for scanners, printers, cd rom writers -all dos utilities migrated to windows -enhancements to the Netware CD ROM and Jukebox solutions. -auto configuring driver -patchless drivers I hope this helps. If you…
Andy, Do you have any further details…..card, aspi, drive, memory, how many devices and termiantion. Laszlo
Andy, CorelSCSI PRO is a completely new product from CorelSCSI. The difference is enourmous. With the CDD 521 you use a command called CDCOPY to transfer data to the CD ROM. It works much like the xcopy command. The Kodak Photo CD format is still under wraps I believe. When…
Barry, The tape software was designed to use conventional RAM only. With larger savesets, more memory is used to store and display files. The workaround is to copy the VOL and CAT files to the directory that our Windows tape software is loaded in. If you then use the Windows…
Dave, All you will have do do is post a message in our Customer Service section right here in Compuserve! I hope this helps. Laszlo
Pascal, Like any other Netware volume, you cannot simply add a drive to it and span the volume across the new drive without backing up the entire volume. I hope this helps. Laszlo
Terry, Our Customer Service area here on Compuserve would be better suited to answer those questions for you. I can tell you that there are some update guidelines. Laszlo
Wes, After much digging around and phone calls. I found that the Ultrastor's exclusion switches do not work like the rest. If you use an invalid switch on the line they are all rendered useless, syntax must be exact. try excluding all IDs. The /A:0 paramter must be repeated. /A:0…
CorelSCSI and sync mode
Message #86875
Brian, I have tested, just yesterday, the 3401 with an adaptec 1540 using two different aspi manager versions, two different DMA transfer speeds, two different versions of our software, and sync and async mode…….I have had no problems. I have not heard of any sync problems. I would suggest checking…
FRANCO, The main difference is price. Ours comes with the package, Adaptecs is extra. We currently do not support the routing of the interupt 13 handler through the ASPI manager if the HD is larger than 1GB. This is being changed though. If you placing an /i on the ASPIDRV.SYS…
Philip, This error normally occurs during periods of choppy SPX communications. There is a file that Novell produces, as a patch, to fix this problem. The file is called XMDFIX.NLM and can be found in their forum. After a client of ours loaded this file all of his problems went…
Leroy, The CD ROM will have to be allocated a drive letter within the lastdrive subset. Simply put, increase your last drive statement by one letter and your login directory will then increase one drive letter. So the CD ROM would be F: and your login directory G:. I hope…
Merv, Corel RAID is a Netware product only. I hope this helps. Laszlo
Marco, Currently CorelSCSI and CorelSCSI Pro support tape on the DOS / WINDOWS platforms. Sorry I could not have been more help. Laszlo
Dave, It's great to know what we're working with. Post a message in our customer service area here on Compuserve. As for single and multi-session. Single session is the writiing out information to a CD. The end of CD Marker is then written. To write another session, you go past…
Luk, Sometimes the bus speed can cause a problem. Before I can go further though I will need some cold hard facts from you. What version of our software? What SCSI controller are you using? What other devices are on the bus? How are you copying the files? These pieces…
Piyush, The MASK switch was never documented as it was though that it would never be useful. The same option for WTBACKUP is /DRIVEMASK=0. This line is placed in the WTBACKUP.INI file. Since I am new here in the forum, I do not know what we have listed in the…
#Upgrades and Packaging
Message #86653
CorelSCSI Pro has been repackaged as two products. The DOS, OS/2, and Windows portion has become (with many enhancements added) CorelSCSI version 2.0. The Netware Portion as advertising already states has been bundled with RAID to form a product called Network Manager. The upgrade price from CorelSCSI version 1.0-1.2b to…
Darrell, Just to recap a few things. If you are using system 7.0 or higher, you must be using CorelDRIVER for MAC version 4.0.3 or CorelSCSI for MAC. The medium error is indicating that the drive is having problems reading the cartridge. Ensure that the drive and the cartrdige are…
Tom, The DTC 3280 is certified with our software and so is the 2525. The 3290 is in progress. If you are having a problem with the software, trouble shoot standard SCSI problems such as termination and cable length. If you are getting a message that says that the tape…
Brent, You probably have a driver from the CorelDRIVER! generation. This generation had to interface directly with the controller. Sample drivers were CUNI_LS2.SYS, CUNI_FDC.SYS etc. Now, the driver is hardware independant (CUNI_ASP.SYS). Where above you had a the CD ROM universal driver for the LS200 and Future Domain you now…
Bill, Your users can map to one or to all six CD if they like! It will depend on what sort of access you want to give them. The Philips recorder is supported. This means that you can write to it and have any standard ISO 9660, High Seirra CD…
Piyush, The tape backup software was design to take a drive mask switch at the end of the line. In the case of DAT drives, the drive mask is /MASK=0 This is added to the end of the CTBACKUP line. ie CTBACKUP /MASK=0 The DOS software is limited to conventional…
You might be able to use CorelSCSI with this controller if it uses an ASPI interface. If it does not, then we will be UNABLE to communicate with it. As for the jumper settings, you will have to check with the board manufacturer. I would also like to say that…
Elizabeth, My recommendation is still to upgrade, but also try removing any /E on the driver and MSCDEX lines. I hope this helps. Laszlo
Wayne, If you are using a sound card then you will probably get a GPF. This can easily be resolved though. 1) open MEDIA PLAYER (accessories window, looks like a reel of film) 2) Perform a File Open from the Artshow CD ROM 3) Change directories to the MIDISOFT directory.…
Elizabeth, CorelSCSI version 1.01c does not even know that the 3401 exists !! You can upgrade to CorelSCSI version 1.2b if we are offering upgrade on this still (new release version 2.0 being produced today). If we are, you can upgrade free of charge plus shipping. I would definately upgrade…
Darren, The command set for both hard drives and tape drives is different. This is not normally the problem though. Specific bios revisions supported certain features. We certify drives using the new command sequences, perhaps it will not work with the older drives if the drive doesn't support the new…
Fred, You will be unable to install using this configuration. This is because the IBM cards do not have an ASPI interface for our software to communicate with. Now for the good news. We have developed and are currently producing a Generic IBM ASPI manager. This file is available in…
Marshall, Is the Bernoulli drive spinning down? If it is, the driver's setable delay may not be set high enough to allow the spin up to occur. For CorelSCSI version 1.2b add a /TMO:45 to the end of the driver line. If you have SCSI Pro, edit the CRLSCSI.INI file…
Eric, If the Trantor // to SCSI converter has an ASPI manager then it should work if the ASPI interface was written correctly. Other than that, we have not certified the device. Laszlo
When running Windows, start it with this option /D:FSVX If this solves the problem of not being able to start windows then type WIN /?. This will describe the switch and what you will have to change to get it to work. (changes in the system.ini) I hope this helps.…
George, I do not know what version of the tape software that you are using. Termination could play a very large role in the way data is compared. Termination could cause data corruption thus your varying success at verifying. This could be caused even by increased noise being injected into…
Greg, This should be no problem. Just drop a line in our Customer Service forum. They will be able to help you. Laszlo
Piyush, The version of our software that is bundled with the SCSI MASTER PLUS kit is equivalent to 1.01f. There have been quite a few changes in the software. You are able to upgrade to the latest version of CorelSCSI free of charge plus shipping. You may even at this…
David, The drive is single session compatible, and even if the disk was multi-session you should still be able to see the first session. It is possible that the driver that you are using is not PCD compatible. If it is a version of CorelDRIVER then you must update the…
Gary, If the worm drive is full, we will software write protect the cartridge. If this is the case you must be loading PATCH311.NLM, PATCHMAN.NLM and WORMROFX.NLM. These patches fix known 3.11 NOS deficiencies and can be down-loaded from Novell's forum. Other than this, you'll want to ensure that the…
