Rick, I use the Xetec CD-Rom and filesystem with no problems although i did have some initial teething trouble. Maybe some of the following will help… This is my mountlist entry: CD0: Device = scsi.device FileSystem = l:CDxFileSystem Unit = 4 Mount = 1 Flags = 0x0004 Surfaces = 1 LowCyl = 0 HighCyl = 1000 Reserved = 2 BlocksPerTrack = 50 Buffers = 50 BufMemType = 5 Stacksize = 6000 Priority = 10 GlobVec = -1 MaxTransfer = 0x001FFFFF Mask = 0xFFFFFFFE DosType = 0x444F530 # Obviously the filesystem is different, but that setup has a nice readahead buffer and works perfectly for me. The flashing drive light is the fault of the Hypermedia file system. Its checking to see if you've changed the disc. The Xetec software gives you the option to turn Auto Disc Change off, then when you change dics, you just issue a DiskChange command. The Disk Icon – CDROM:CDDA signifies that you have loaded an audio cd. If the filesystem was reading the disc properly you should get the Fish Disc icon. Try fiddling with the mountlist. If you get no joy, I'll configure my software for a GVP interface and see if the (auto generated) mountlist is any different. Good luck, Andrew.
